get yourself a used voodoo3 2000 on ebay, and flash the rom which will make
it work on a mac. you might be able to find one already flashed, but they
are gonna try to hype it up like its something special, and try to charge
you more for it.. just get a PC voodoo3 (2000, or 3000) and flash the rom..
its really simple to do
