Does anyone know of where I can find PCI-express cards to addon USB and/or Firewire ports to the Jan '08 Edition of the Mac Pros?

I keep running into the cards that are meant for older Power Macs.

obviously, you have to get the right ones, but I am sure you can sort them out from here:

Yeah, I was just looking through them but most of them looked like for G5's and older :(

Most of the PCI express cards say Mac pro in the short description of it, even it they says power mac g5 in the big heading.

And guess idk, but I would think, if it's a PCI express card and works with mac, there's no reason why it wouldnt work with a MP. thats always been my assumption. anyone know differently?:confused:


here's some from a different site too..
