anyone notice that ATI was droped around the same time they stoped making new cards for the mac FIRST then for PeeC's? seems to be a funny ocourence....and it also seems to me that the GF series tends to be cheaper as well anyhow....just a thought, and wondering what anyone else was gonna say....
(personaly, i like ATI....)

nVidia GF4

Well and of course the new PowerMacs are the first to come out shipping with GForce4s... announced even before nVidia announced it.

It's a GeForce 4 MX...

"MX" is the name for NVidia's low end (read: crippled) video cards...

The performance of the GeForce 4 MX may fall between GeForce 2 and 3.
