The Mac uses the same PCI but...the firmware, drivers etc are different in most cases. (Firewire and USB cards in general work on both machines) The only PC Video card that I know of that will work on a Mac is the Voodoo cards and they need the flash firmware changed in order to work.They may work with OSX but are more then iffy for installing. Chances are the Video card if it came new with the UMAX is a Twin Turbo Video card which is one of the better cards for installing OSX! So go read up on XPostFacto most everything you need to know you will find there. Will S
