Quick Mac video card question
I understand than many new Macs come with an AGP slot. Does this mean that a standard PC graphics card (say a mainsteam nVidia or ATI model) will work, or do you have to buy a Mac-specific one?

AFAIK
If its supported in the OS (ie it has drivers) then it should work

The only reason to get ATis mac editions is a gurrentee they will work plus there software.

Re: Quick Mac video card question
Mac video cards generally have a different BIOS to their Windows brethren, although some PC video cards can be flashed with the Mac BIOS and will work in a Mac.
