In theory? Sure. In practice, ehhhhh.... there may be BIOS changes needed. And those may not always be available. F'rinstance, I have a Matrox Mystique 440 here (early 3d card, with a then-whopping 4 Mb VRAM) - no way to get it running on a Mac. Have to check on a card by card basis. -Eric -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
