@SourNaik you can use ani graphics card as long as it says mac support

@SourNaik Macs use EFI rather than BIOS, and such GPU's are quite rare (much smaller market, 1 Mac can use them rather than millions of PC's). That should change though as EFI becomes more popular.
You can also flash the BIOS on many "PC" graphics cards to make them work with OSX. Most people tend to have better results with AMD cards than NVIDIA from what I've seen. Be sure you know what you're potentially getting yourself into if you intend to try this, you could end up bricking the GPU.

Why didn't Apple use a philips screw for the heat sinks? Just another tool we have to buy...

@breaksmash Apple never ment to have a end user replace the CPU's in these systems. Also you can tighten down the heat-sinks better with a Hex then a Phillips, and you wont strip as easy.

@breaksmash It's because they don't necessarily want you to do this yourself
