That is pathetic. Apple seriously needs to work it's graphics card  
issues out. If you're never going to be able upgrade the card in a Mac  
Pro, why do they even bother giving you the "option"? They may as well  
just weld the damn thing to motherboard and call it good. At least  
then you *know* you're fucked.

8800's have been available for generic PC hardware for almost a year.  
Count me as pissed off as well.
