>Are the high performance graphics cards that are available on the PC available on the Mac?<

Highly regarded Xclaim Rage Pro circuitry is already built into the PPC logic board. Unless you need a second monitor, you don't need to buy any video cards. (It gives effing good performance provided you don't turn off the effing software!!)

Mac video cards (I know of) include Xclaim (I use an Xclaim VR w/TV Tuner), IMS, Techworks, Matrox, MacTell.

How many cards do you want to buy?

Reason for Friday's Runup.

My best guesses are:

1) Belated -- but substantial -- by short-covering by a single -- but substantial -- entity.

2) Major purchasing by a wire house prior to a publicly announced upgrade. Merrill Lynch I bet.

If we don't hear news of the latter soon, I'd expect it's the former. Nobody that screwed up so bad would want it known.
