Hello Ian, try Google/mac, and if you get frustrated, try the link (search the www - all in one phrase). You might be pleasantly surprised. On a different note - I'm using an ATI Rage 16 MB with OS X (most recent ATI drivers) on a 16" Mac display. The key was using a video adapter that came with a recent purhase of a powerbook (!) (the ATI card has a peecee style female port). A generic adapter failed to allow this card to use the Mac display. Cheers George
