Well, I have been quietly contemplating replacing my Windows game PC with a new Apple desktop. This new video card might tip the scale for me. MacOSX and Windows, d ual video card support and quiet? Hallelujah!
ATI Radeon X2800XT with CrossFire rumored for Apple's next Mac Pro
Published: 12:10 PM EST
The centerpiece of ATI's next-generation graphics card line may make its first appearance as part of an upgrade to Apple Inc.'s Mac Pro line of professional desktop computers, according to an online report.
The mammoth red beast, measuring some 12.4-inch in length, is about 3-inches larger than the industry-leading GeForce 8800 card from NVIDIA. It's said to include a four-pronged heat pipe with vapour chamber technology to provide amble but quiet cooling.
While there appear to be several versions of the ATI card that will slowly make their way to market -- including a 9-inch retail variant and slightly down-clocked dual-chip offering -- the model destine for Apple is expected to debut first and introduce CrossFire support to the Mac.
