Are all Voodoo 5 PCI cards alike?

I'm considering buying a Voodoo 5 for my Gateway 6400 (no AGP slot) and have been checking out the auction on egay. Some of the cards say they are for Macintosh but others don't specify. Were these cards produced only for macs or is there an IBM pci card also? Will the mac card work in an IBM?

The mac version has DVI support and can be flashed to PC quite easily (done it myself), as for other versions I have seen a powercolour voodoo 4500.

Mingon, how would I go about flashing the card bios? Could I just put it in one of my open PCI slots and then flash it somehow?

You need the flash tool, the bios, a win98 startup disk and an agp vid card. You boot off the startup disk with the agp card as the primary, and then use the flash tool and bios to change the voodoo to pc. You can also change back again if you PM me you email address I have all the stuff still.
