Those ones in the links are PC video cards. They wont work in a G5 unless you flash them. And flashing them is no easy trick, but can be done. Check out strangedogs - They have DIY's for flashing video cards. I've been looking to upgrade my 6600 to a 7800 too. I cant find any place that sells them...and I'm not sure if I want to flash a PC one either...I need to find out more about the flashed cards before I can make a decision. Hope that helps

so if you can't purchase the 7800 by itself for the mac, is there another mac-ready card that is as good, perhaps from ati, that you can purchase?

No. And don't forget the Quad uses PCI-express... and there are no retail Mac-compatible cards (yet) for PCI-express based Macs.
If you really want the card, you're only real option is to BTO it from Apple directly. Or find one for sale on eBay (caveat emptor).
