The Twin Turbo cards will run OS X but may be a hassle to get OS X installed using it. The OEM 16MB ATI cards from a B&W will work decent for the price also (about $20). I personally prefer the Radeon Mac Edition 32MB card. The 7000 Radeon 32MB is a good card also but the original Mac Edition Radeon seems better to me. I have no expereince with the 8500 so I can't give any opinion on that one. -- Ron http://krowmagnum.4mg.com/ -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
