This is untrue and misleading. I would be interested to learn the source of the claim. One might argue that all NVIDIA controllers are souped-up versions of the original NV1, but this does not appear to be the intended message. The GF2 and GF4 are entirely different devices. Core logic of the GeForce2 MX uses the NV11 logic released nearly two years ago, while the GeForce4 MX uses the NV17, released Spring 2002. NV17 has significant performance and feature improvements, notably with 3D rendering and multiple display support. -- To address the original thread, neither NVIDIA nor Apple makes a PCI add-in card for Macintosh. NVIDIA sells graphics controllers to Apple, which chooses to manufacture only AGP add-in cards (and motherboards) using NVIDIA graphics controllers. If you want to run NVIDIA add-on PCI card graphics on a Mac, get a New World ROM machine, or be prepared to re-flash a lot of Wintel cards. This is not just hearsay. As an NVIDIA employee with four old-world PCI Macs and zero AGP Macs, I have studied this matter with a certain amount of fervor and disappointment. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
