Does anyone know if you are able to put an 8800 or a few 8800's in to a mac pro yet, I know I read about someone doing it a while back with mixed results and having to hack things together but I don't know if someone has tried it with lepord yet. I think it is pretty crappy that the only options you have when you configure the mac Pro are only with the Geforce 7300 or an AMD card (not a big fan of ATI/AMD at the moment and neither card are DX10 not that it matters in OSX but if I want to dual boot to vista:thumbsdown: to play say Crysis in all of it's DX 10 glory I really don't have that option ATM...

from what i read/hear, you cant use an 8800 as the primary video card...as osx doesnt have the efi drivers or whatnot for it. in windows/boot camp however, it'll run just fine. you are better off with an ati x1900xtx or something, because osx supports it.
