Nope. See below. >I use a Radeon 7000 in my B&W as my primary video. > >I gather the Mac edition was a better gamers card than the 7000. The Mac Edition is simply a standard PC Radeon 7000 with the firmware FLASHed to support a Mac. There are only 32 MB Mac Editions. There are 32 MB and 64 MB "PC Editions". The only Radeon 7000s which cannot be FLASHed to support a Mac are those which don't have DDR memory (SDR, e.g.). Note that there are a number of external video connections possible, and the Mac Edition has them all, whereas an off-the-shelf "PC Edition" has only the VGA connection. OEM Radeon 7000s often have only DVI connections, or combination of DVI and S-Video connections. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
