Pretty much what the title says, I need the bios to flash a pc 8800gt to a mac 8800gt. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried google, but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!
Hi,
This may help (just follow the instructions carefully).
Good luck!

Yes it is. Very old school way of doing things. Back when I was an Apple groupie (The clone days) this was common practice.

Well back before Intel Macs they were totally different. But I thought there was still something preventing a proper bios flash; guess was wrong.
I used to use a Mac 8800GT from work in my PC sometimes but the other way around did not work (as OP obviously knows).

I've given my co-worker quite a few of my old cards to use in his first-gen Intel Mac Pro. He's used a 512MB 8800GT of mine (BFG OC), and a 512MB 4870 as well (PowerColor I believe).

You have to flash it to a mac bios IF the card supports it.
