I have been waiting for over a year for an upgrade to the 7300gt in my
Mac Pro. It is finally released and then Apple claims it won't work in
my machine. If this card will not work in my Mac Pro, my Mac Pro is
either going on ebay or in the dumpster and I am buying a PC. Enough
is enough.

OK, I am confused. This card requires PCI-E 2.0 and only the new Macs
have PCI-E 2.0?
If so, that is completely retarded and I'm extremely pissed off.
Apple has never offered a viable upgrade card to the Mac Pro (the
x1900 is far too expensive for what it is). Someone needs to figure
out how to get regular PCI-E cards to work in the Mac Pros. It's
really annoying as I was prepared to buy this card.
