http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/ Well, maybe. A Wildcat and Panther would go quite well together no?

Comments on 3Dlabs high end 3D cards for Macs -

" I just have received a email from 3DLabs stating that they are in discussions with Apple, for those who need 256MB and 512MB CADD DCC cards for Maya etc.
I expressed my interest in purchasing the Wildcat VP880 Pro. (512MB RAM) as soon as it's compatible with the new Dual G5's.
Lets hope the details get worked out and we can have Chester Cheetah dancing on our desktops!
-S.

copy of the email.

" Good evening... and thank you for your interest in 3Dlabs products. At this time we are having discussions with Apple to see how our two products will fit together. Do you have a preference for which 3Dlabs product family you would like to see support the Apple G5?
Sincerely,

That's great news! Let's hope the discussions go well. Anyone have any idea on how long something like this would take until we'd be able to buy (assuming all goes well)? I've got a coworker who'd kill for one of these in a Dual G5.

I wonder if it's just Apple or Apple + Pixar in the discussions.
