G5 GPU compatibility

Just a small (probably ignorant) question: If I buy a Powermac G5, will I be able to use any OpenGL card in its AGP 8X slot? Or can I only use 'mac edition' GPUs?



Thanks.

    Because of the motherboard and basic architecture differences between Macs and PCs and because special drivers will still be needed, I suspect you'll *always* have to buy Mac versions of said cards or use the flashed PC versions.
