It says 'no drivers needed'. Any idea whether this _includes_ Mac OS X 10.x? Anyways... Is this card new? Is that why this thread is in news, rumours and discussion? Or... what's the discussion?

I have a feeling it's a PC card and the distributor just assumes that Windows is the only OS out there. It could very well work with Mac OS X, though -- it just doesn't specifically say so on that page. Lots of 3rd party "PC-only" cards work just fine with Mac OS X, just don't expect any support out of that company if you do use it with a Mac!

Well, I'd say it's news (if it works with a Mac) I've contacted the company, waiting for an answer.

So it's news, then. Two of those might look very good in a G4.
