    Hi guys,

    Does anyone here know any reason why this Sapphire ATI card would NOT work in my new Mac Pro?

    We already have 2 x ATI Radeon 2600XT’s in the Mac, but obviously they were supplied by Apple when we bought the mac..but they want double the price for what looks essentially like the same card.

    The ppl at this retailer don’t know for sure..do ATI make PC or Mac only cards?

    Thanks,
    Jim.

    Nope, you need to get a mac-specific card from ATi.
