Why would you replace a graphics card on a MacPro 1,1 just to keep it running though?
I actually have one gathering dust but Graphics Cards are still pricing and performance poor by modern (laptop even) standards.
You can pick up a low cost 2nd had laptop that will run faster and chew thru less electrical power bills.
