How do you get this Mac card supported?, are the Windows drivers from NVIDIA going to do the job or does Apple include the needed drivers within the newest Boot Camp downloads?. Thanks.

Apple provides the drivers on the 10.5 OS X Disc, though I had to request one newer than 10.5.0 from Apple as the 8800 wasn't released then. I called Apple and they mailed me (free) a 10.5.x disc with the nVidia drivers on it.
