OTOH there are
NO cheap PCI video cards for the mac, or cheap sound cards.
At least with the current crop of PCI video cards, Mac users
aren't having to pay double what everyone else is. Before they
ceased production, the Mac version of the Voodoo5 was priced nearly
the same as the PC version and it did include Mac specific stuff such
as the digital video output. It's a heck of a nice card too....to
bad it died so suddenly.
The early Rage 128 PCI cards were pretty inexpensive too. I picked up my
Rage Orion for $135 new. Great card for the money -- not fabulous output
but certainly more than decent.
