Has anyone had issues with Mac Pro first gen and ATI 1900XT? We got 2 cards,

updated video card firmware (running 10.4.11) and keep getting random

freezes (crashes) requiring a reboot. This is particularly pronounced if two

cards are used concurrently (3+ video outputs) or when one card is using

both outputs. We haven't noticed [that many] problems when using only one

video output, but in the aforesaid configurations, it happens rather

frequently (and inconsistently). All these symptoms point to the video card

being the problem (this is further corroborated by various testimonials
