Hi,

I've followed many threads about using mutliple video cards in a mac pro, and also read the several "dump the xyz-rom"-threads. I own a early-2008-Xeon-MacPro, with the standard-2600 ATI card in it. Under OSX, I mostly do audioediting, so this card is perfectly right for me on the OSX-side. Also I do a little gaming under Windows XP (Bootcamp 2.1), but for contemporary games the 2600 is reaching it's limits. Now I ask for your help: is there a viable solution for me to add more video power only when using Windows?

I do not want to:

- flash a pc-card (or not yet ;))
- buy one of these overpriced mac/pc-cards
- plug out and in different video cards when changing the OS
- put in a pc-card which fans rotating at maximum speed when under OSX

I just want to put in a up-to-date video card which will totally be ignored from OSX, but works perfectly well under Windows.

Any ideas?
