ATI Radeon HD 5770 in MacPro 1,1

I've searched all over these forums, there was some talk about the ATI Radeon HD 5770 working in a 1,1 MacPro, but I never really found a definitive answer. In the apple catalog someone posted this:

"It should be fine ATI cards unlike nvidia are built to be compatible with both EFI 32 and EFI 64 interfaces and i know the 4870 is fully compatible even with the first generation intel mac pro some people were saying that the 5770 takes up 2 pci express slots but that is just false i havent had the chance to try it myself since my 4870 is enough for me but i am sure it should work just fine"

Any final word on this? I'm eager to upgrade.

MacPro1,1, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

What that procedure does is to free all the deleted data that the SSD drive has been carting along, since without TRIM Enabled, it does not get told when blocks are deleted. Once the SSD knows there are more than a handful of freed blocks available, it can combine them (through its internal garbage collection) into pre-erased SuperBlocks, ready for immediate Writing when needed. That is what provides the speedup.
