Does anyone know if the GeForce 4 Ti is available for use with AGP Macs running OSX yet? If not, which is the current most powerful nVidia card available for this configuration?
Been hunting around the web and the Apple Stroe but have found nothing. Any info would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Based on what I've found in my search to replace the Rage Pro AGP card in my G4/466, there are exactly zero Nvidia cards available right now. The Geforce 4ti is going to sold via the Apple Store "Spring 2002" but it will be very expensive. If you want to buy a brand new AGP card for you Mac, your only choice is the ATI Radeon 8500 AGP, but if you need an ADC connector, you're out of luck. The lowest price I've seen on this side of the pond is at MacMall $267.00 USD. I even looked for first generation ATI Radeons, but they are gone from everywhere I check, so I'm trying to win one off of Ebay. Sad, isn't it! I wish ATI would release the Radeon 7500 AGP, that's the card I would buy, in an instant. ATI do sell the Radeon 7000, but its PCI only and I've heard that its slower than the previous 32MB DDR version. Good luck, hope this info helps!

Yeah, he's right. If you want the MX, that's available. But them again, the GeForce 3 from Apple is faster than the GeForce 4 MX.
