So, I'd say there is about a 25% chance we'll see it on Macs around New Year, about a 25% chance it will be later than that, and about a 49% chance there will never be a Mac version of this particular GPU. Very exciting...

More like a year if they're feeling generous towards Mac users. Otherwise, NCH.

The 3870 and 4870 were both released for Macs. I would be surprised if the trend DIDNT follow for the 5870.

Hopefully, it will. But it will take awhile as usual.

That is actually ok.
Apple can keep their overprices stuff and rest of us can flash a pc version of it for half the price.
Nowadays I feel happy when I dont have to give apple my money.

Well done,.

Netkas and Rominator will almost certainly tackle that one shortly after it ships.
