No. Hell, there arent' *expensive* ones you can flash. You want a 64 mb card you've pretty much got one choice: ATI Radeon, since no one, afaik, sells Nvidia cards except Apple, and they're only sold as BTO options with new macs. You can often find obsolete 3DFX Voodoo cards on e-bay, etc, but they don't work with OSX. Beyond that you're looking at the paltry offerings that ATI has. The Radeons are nice cards, but they're kinda slim pickings. This is a real sore point for a lot of folks, when they walk into a store and see 3,456 different video cards for peecees, all under $50. You would have to think that at least ONE of these companies would wake up, realize that they're competing for a tiny fraction of the large Windows market, when with a little work (and not all that much, in fact) they could compete in a smaller Mac market, with a chance of selling a lot of cards... Even with the advent of Maya, and other high-end video, FX and modelling applications for the Mac, even the high-end cards aren't there and you gotta believe that the market for $2000-3000 video cards isn't going to be that high even for the PC market... > -- Bruce Johnson Wherever you go, there you are. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
