I would like to know aswell if this is possible ? On the apple pci

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 graphics card occupies the 16-lane PCI
Express slot and adjacent PCI Express slot. Maximum of one NVIDIA
Quadro FX 4500 or GeForce 7800 GT card per system.
D'oh!
You are correct it states that I need to use 6600 for multiple
graphic cards. I think that is due to the 7800 being 16x and the
other slots being 8 and 4x. I think the PCI express should still be
able to use the card. The question becomes whether a 6600 running at
max is as fast as a 7800 running at 8x. The disparity in speeds may
mean I wouldn't be able to sync the cards using SLI(whatever that
is). I will have to dig deeper on this aspect. I may put the higher
resolution displays on the faster card. Will have to see.

Does this mean, one can only fit 1 7800gt in 1 g5 quad ?
Also looking for a manufacturer of nvidia cards for os x, in
particular the 7800gtx 512mb.
I see them available through xfx, but only with win drivers.
I will have to go with whatever card gives me the most VRAM.
Thank you
