Here are a couple tricks to keep you speeding along without switching to another search bar. The first is auto complete, for some reason my ISP (RR) actually was controlling this until I disabled it. This might be true for your ISP also. So to enable this you must open firefox and create another tab, in the address bar type “about:config” then in the search bar at the top type ” browser.urlbar.autoFill” that will give you result. You need to double click that to make the value true. Simply restart firefox and it will now auto complete based on what you have typed in the past.

The next is letting the address bar become the new search bar. Allowing you to type tags or complete searching and having google search them. Open “about:config” if its not already and search for “keyword.url”. Double click and paste “http://www.google.com/search?btnG=Google+Search&q=”, this will now allow you to use google search in the address bar. Enjoy!

After the new Mac Pros were released, you could get an upgraded video card; but for some reason, Apple failed to release this update for the first gen. Mac Pros.  Apparently, Apple has finally made the upgrade kit that will now let you get the 8800 GT.

For advanced graphics performance, choose the latest-generation NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT with 512MB of GDDR3 video memory. With a unified shader core and massive memory bandwidth, the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT brings advanced performance to graphics-intensive applications like motion graphics, 3D modeling, rendering, and animation. It features a PCI Express interface for a high-bandwidth connection to the Mac Pro and two dual-link DVI ports for connecting up to two 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Displays.
Requires Mac Pro (bus speed 1.33GHz) with PCI-Express
Includes a DVI to VGA connector for easy connection to VGA-based displays
