EVGA Releases GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition
EVGA quietly slipped in the GeForce GTX 285 Mac Edition graphics card, which is its fastest offering to Mac users. The card uses a standard PCI-Express interface available with Intel x86 based Mac Pro workstations, and provides all the features of NVIDIA's fastest GPU. It is technically identical to its base-model PC counterpart, using a reference design for the PCB and cooler, reference clock speeds of 648/1476/2484 MHz (core/shader/memory), and 1 GB of GDDR3 memory across a 512-bit interface. It bundles the necessary power dongles, and packs system software for Mac. Two dual-link DVI connectors support two Apple Cinema displays with resolutions of 2560 x 1600 each. The OpenGL 3.0 acceleration backs the advanced drawing features of Adobe CS4 applications. EVGA is pricing this at US $449.99, a notch higher than the GTX 285 2 GB FTW accelerator for PC.

Probably nothing stopping you buying a normal one and flashing it to a "Mac Edition"
and regular bios chips' size is too small for that. But the different chip definitely not worth that much of price difference!:banghead:
I definitly DON'T want to get a mac desktop!!
you guys are so hard on Apple.
90% of mac users have one system, and would have trouble even booting DOS to flash the thing.
So people are going to start gaming (more) on there macs...at least they will be easy to shoot. Unless they buy aftermarket everything..
they just have to overpay for hardware that works on both OS's.
No seriously... with a mouse?
You're confusing the old IBM powerPC macs with modern intel based ones.
and btw, you can aim fine with a mouse that has no buttons. if you aim with the button, you're doing it wrong.
But I only See one:confused: or is it just the styling?
this proves my point so many times, that most of you who "dont like mac" has never actually used one.
And i dont mean you surfed the web on one. i mean really used one.
and yes, i do have 4 oc'd pc's in my house :)
did you use the mouse that came with your PC? doubt it. same goes for mac users. if they're buying a GTX 285, i think they'd buy themselves something decent for a mouse. (Logitech has a large Mac product line)
My parent's wont let me get a decent mouse:shadedshu
