There's limited support; OS X does not support hardware acceleration with that card, but the card itself works. If anyone was "sold" on the Rage Pro, they didn't do their homework. It only remained the best graphics card on the market for about 6 weeks after it was released. The LT was NEVER a good graphics card. Whether or not the graphics card can be replaced depends on your computer..... but if you have a PowerBook (which I'm assuming you do), the answer is "no." And, in general, laptop graphics cards from all companies tend to lag (sometimes quite a bit) behind their desktop counterparts. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
