Anyone? It would make my day (or month or year for that matter).

I second that as well. I'm looking for this card to replace my stock ATI Radeon 9000 Pro OEM with 64MB in my Dual-1.25 PowerMac G4 (FW800). I could go for another 9000 Pro with 128MB but why bother?

If anyone is selling an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro Mac Edition OEM version with 128MB and both ADC and DVI-I ports, please let me know as well. Thanks!

MChieh and anyone else out there,
I ended up purchasing the Radeon 9700 as a replacement part from Pre-Owned Electronics. It was a bit spendy, but well worth it (a 10 fps jump in Halo, plus I cranked up the resolution and details).

You'll need to sign up with Pre-Owned (not a big deal) and give them the Apple part number for the OEM Radeon 9700 (661-2798). They won't have it in stock, but they'll order it. I think I even got free overnight shipping. Give it a go.

How much did you spend for it?

All told, around $415 I think. It's a bit spendy, but when I compared it to the Radeon 9800 retail, I was pleased. I have a dual digital monitor setup that I needed to keep and Apple's costly adapters didn't sit well with me.

Pricey given the PC version is $175-ish. Is there any way to flash the PC card so it works in the Mac? Any websites talk about this?
