Hi Ben, if you have an Apple 64bit version of the 8800 you can flash it to the 32bit version of the card relatively easily. I only mention it as you said you were on a bit of a budget and it sounds like you already have that card? I did it and it works perfectly as twy are the same card just with a different ROM. You should be able to do it in either a PC or using bootcamp – I did mine in bootcamp and from memory only had the 8800 installed. You will need to set your MP to boot windows before you put the card in as it doesn’t work at all under OSX. Use a tool called nvflash (search with a term like Nvidia or you will find the android flasher instead) and then search for Mac 8800GT 32bit rom. I found quite a good thread on that at macrumors.com (sorry I only have Internet on my phone at the moment – moving house). It wasnt the easiest to find info on, but once I found the ROM I was able to muddle my way through it 🙂 anyway that will be your cheapest bet and you will have a genuine Apple version of the card with the genuine Apple firmware, just not the FW that shipped on the card.
