What ATI card came with Mac Pro in 2007?

I have a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT currently in my Mac Pro. I got the cheaper of the video cards when I bought the Mac Pro. I have a friend who got the ATI card around the same time with 500mb vram. He is offering to send this to me. I am just wondering about the comparison between the NVIDIA that I have and the one he is giving me. He is upgrading to a 64 bit card. Will I get the Advanced drawing in Photoshop now?

Mac Pro 2.66 5gb ram, Mac OS X (10.6.3)

i felt that it was too close to 91C (which is when the macpro takes action on its own to stop the crazyness)

Thanks for the links!

my pleasure

Well that is freaking hot! My mem modules all run in the low to mid C range.

I got the card. Quiet as a mouse. Cleaned it up. Works great! Faster screen re-draw and I have all my settings in Photoshop. Watching the temp but so far there is no change. Had to go onto a 10.4.11 backup to install the firmware update.
