Just ot clarify:
ATI markets cards made by 3rd parties under it's own name; NVidia does not
sell cards for any platform. Both companies sell the chipsets to others,
who then make the cards/motherboards and whom are free to write drivers
and support whatever hardware they choose.

"... that Apple deliberately tries to prevent ATI and NVidia retail video
cards from working. ... since there aren't any Mac NVidia cards aside from
Apple's OEM ones. ..."
