For what it's worth, here are the technical details/specifications of a powerful new graphics card that supports Windows and Linux. No word about Apple's proprietary computer hardware and operating system.

The $1995 Matrox M9188 comes with 2GB of video RAM, and works with Windows 7, Vista, XP, and Linux. It can be combined with a second one to form a seamless desktop across 16 monitors.
