    The 9800 will be avalaible for mac as soon they will produce them in enough quantity.

    The major problem of the 9700 for the mac where the drivers, and guess what, the drivers of the 9800 are the same than the 9700

    The 9800 Pro might not be available from Apple, but ATi plans to make it a retail product.

    really, so the 9700 will be buy from apple only and the 9800 will go retail. If performance is good I'll snatch that puppy up off the shelf.

    But with 3D apps (Lightwave and Cinema 4D) the Ti still beats the 9700.



    If I am getting a machine BTO now I will go for the 9700. But as a owner of the Ti there really is no point to get rid of the Ti to get the 9700.

    Me too . Alas, ATI doesn't seem too interested . Wasn't there an effort to write open source OS X drivers for the common TV tuner chipsets a while back? Anyone know what happened to it?
