Not correct in our experience. For instance, ATI cards do not support some of the things we do on a Mac (yet - working on it with ATI + Apple) but the same card works just fine on same machine running under Win 7 Bootcamp. Usually a driver problem... not a hardware problem. Cheers, Chris Mettle.com Skype: Mettlecom |
