Well i was thinking of purchasing a brand new 2009 Mac Pro with my ADC student membership. Though i would want a ATi 4870 but the price is still a bit too out of my range. The mac pro is basically going to be all generic. cept with apple care protection.

My friend bought a ATi 4870 for his 08 or earlier Mac Pro and took out the 8800GT card. he said he'll give it to me. but he doesnt know if it will work with the new 09 mac pros.

By the time i purchase the mac pro. will probably be about 2 or 3 months from now. Snow leopard will be released, perhaps? if it does, and its included with the mac pro, can the 8800GT still work in the 09 mac pro?

thanks for your time
