i may be wrong, and no doubt someone will pounce on me if i am, but i believe the GeForce 6800 for PC can be flashed to run on a mac. IIRC, getting it to work in a QS would also involve taping over pins #3 and #11 on the card. i seem to remember seeing details on this somewhere on the web. maybe someone else has a better memory than i.
