Jeff this is a confirm. All ATI PC 7000 PCI cards seem to have only the one vga port. The Sapphire is just like the Mac version. I have great high quality .jpg 's of both sides of the ATI PC and Mac cards they seem to be the same except for the ports. Even shows chip numbers etc. I can also get a front side of the Sapphire. It uses a different heat sink with Sapphire logo on it otherwise seems the same but is black rather then green like ATI cards. I should have perhaps gotten the Sapphire but the kid in me wanted it now ;-) I wasn't expecting the difference when I drove to the store last night and had to decide on the spot. Wasn't a lot of money so I went with it. The free shipping will likely take a week. I also may sell the ATI to someone who doesn't want to do the flashing. It works great by the way! The flashing on the PC was a pain. My PC refused to boot with a PCI video card in the machine along with the AGP video card. Odd but very much the sort of thing PC 's are famous for . So I had to find an old PCI PC video card and remove the AGP card very odd. ATI Germany legal is demanding websites in the EU remove the ATI flasher program as of today. ATI USA will soon know about it as info is now posted at xlr8yourmac forums where ati guy posts. Someone we know already has them ;-) let me know if you want the .jpg's later Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
