Ummon:
video card craziness

DrumAnBass:
For many of us, overpaying for hardware was worth it to run Mac OS-X...

Of course these days the playing field is a bit more level with current MacPros running Nvidia 8800s and the Radeon HD 3870 available for $220.

Just go hackintosh. You can by a disc of your favourite Lazy Horse (leopard) from Apple and mix and match it with whatever piece of chinese/taiwanese computing crap you like.
Why pay 170+ dollars for a piece of 1990's radeon9800 junk if you flash a 8800GT you buy for 90$ to work with leopard as easy. That is kind of different graphics power. 220 buck for the official apple branded Nvidia is still too much!

oh, i thought this was going to be a thread about the nefarious goings on of mcdonalds...

Ehhhh 9800 is not from the 90's. I bought mine (128mb version) when Half-Life 2 was released. That was about 4 years ago.
