I believe ATi were demoing a 9200 PCI card earlier in the year at one of the Mac Expos/shows without committing themselves to definitely putting it into production. These have been out for a while on the PC side, covering the bottom end of the market, but they're bound to be more expensive if they make the transition to the Mac. Hopefully somebody will quickly correct me if I'm mistaken. Neil -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
