You can either pay the Apple Tax (http://store.apple.com/ca/product/MB999ZM/A)

Or you can purchase it from Somewhere else (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150394) and flash it to work on a Mac.

Or, if for some reason you find yourself in an odd position (For me I was more interested in Folding performance than anything else), you can also try a 9800GT.
