I just got access to an old Mac Pro equipped with a Radeon HD 2600 XT card. I wonder if it is possible to dabble in some very basic OpenCL work with it, given the open source friendliness of AMD with regard to their GPUs. I know it's an old machine so it may entirely not work.

Does this tell me the card is not supported, the card does not work with OpenCL or do I have to take further steps? Thanks for any and all pointers.
