1. The regular 7300GT.
Pros: cheap
Cons: Not recommended in the Aperture specs.

2. The ATI 190XT
Pros: Recommended for Aperture
Cons: Power consumption, heat output, very (?) noisy

Is there anything in between? Something quiet that will work with Aperture?

If these are the only two choices, is the 7300 really that bad? We'll be mainly using Aperture for large numbers of JPGs organization and sifting - no RAW in our workflow. Will the 7300 be OK for that?

Don't really want the noise, and have seen many reports of issues with the 1900XT - although it seems whatever the issue was has been resolved (seen lots of complaints on the WoW boards).

Suggestions?

The X1900XT is far from very noisy.

The 7300 should be fine for you.

Speaking if the X1900XT, has anyone here used the Accelero Cooler X2 I think it is called? I am wondering if it will even fit inside the Mac Pro?
