This is based on info/problems people have had with OSX video cards etc.However other then that they do work well. I can tell you that I own and use the ATI Rage Pro video card. It was 4mb when new but added the 4mb upgrade which my card provided a place for.So is now 8mb card. It works really great and works in all PCI slots and has no issues with OSX. I really don't need a newer more ram video card with my setup. The only reason I would want a newer card is I would like to be able to run Apple DVD player software. One needs an ATI 128 or newer video card for this. The Wired4DVD card does not work with OSX. So I strongly recommend the ATI Rage Pro card (8mb) or the Twin turbo 8mb Apple version card.(which I also own) as great cards for our UMAX machines.I think the fact that the Ultima Rez video card cost $400. and wasn't really a better card then the twin turbo is what helped put the company out of business. They also went away before all issues& bugs were taken care of.later Will S
