I was thinking more along the lines of the high end Power Mac purchasers, especially those involved with 3D.

I always thought that the ROM size was differnt and most of the cards made for the PC have a smaller hardware cache for the ROM making it difficult to flash.

I also thought Apple was responsible for much of the Driver writing...(?)
Also why wouldn't ATI release more cards if the hardware was identical since most of the driver work would already be done and should be able to be reused between cards with only specific code added for the individual card?

So can I flash on of these puppies "they're compatible with AGP 8X"
