The 7000 doesn't work at all in OSX in an OLD World Mac/clone nor the Apple supported Beige G3. The Radeon Mac Edition is the one to get if you want to run OSX. It is no longer being made but can be found. The 7000 works fine for OS 9.x but i belive the 3D for games has been stripped down a bit but it does offer the use of two monitors. The 7000 was sold for use in the Beige G3 and it was only after it went on sale they discovered it didn't in OSX. So much for the 1 year plus they say they spend on testing ! Also any ATI 128 video card is fast and works in OSX. They are easy to find on Ebay. Maybe ATI will fix the drivers so the 7000 works in OSX on older machines but I wouldn't buy one and hope...Will S
