RE: Mac OS X Demo Now Available (Beta 1)

Urkle Wrote:OK, Maybe you guys can help me. The main issue I have now is I don't have an ATI card to do testing. And I went down to the local Computer store (Fry's) and they have a plethora of cards, but only "one" labelled with Mac support (an ATI 9200 128MB and for $200). As I can't seem to find must useful information on apple's nor ATI/AMDs website, I am wondering will buying an X1650 WORK on OS X? I'm going to be calling up apple tomorrow to see if I can get a straight answer out of them, (also my mac mini diedSad it's not been my weekend.. fan on my graphics card died on my main linux box too!!!)

AFAIK the firmware on a graphics card needs to support Macs i.e. you cannot slap any graphics card into a Mac. I read in some Mac related forum you can flash most cards for use in a Mac (if you get the adequate firmware), but since I never owned a Mac with exchangable hardware, I never looked further into this.
