I actually reverted back to the 7300GT that I had and put it in the 8X slot since I don't really need 3D acceleration in OS X as I use it for sound and the occasional video editing. The reason I went for the 1GB card is because there was only a $20 difference and I like to run games at my displays native resolution.

Dual 2.66Ghz Xeon Woodrcrests // 8800GT 512MB // 30" Apple Cinema Display // 8GB RAM // Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE // 64GB iPad LTE Verizon // Home Theater

ah, nice. well i'll be using the x1900xt in the 8x once i get an 8800, since it's my only card. hope there aren't any conflicts. i just remembered that windows didn't like having two videocard brands going at the same time. :/
