Sorry I'm posting this question at 2 different places. Kinda need help really bad.

Ok, I've just bought myself a Voodoo3 2000 PCI card for my Dell P200 MMX.

Now I have a PCI Matrox Millinum II card left over as a result. Can I use this Matrox Millinum II PCI card on my Power Mac which also has a empty PCI slot. I checked Matrox's web site and they have Mac Bios and Drivers for this Matrox Millinum II PCI card for Macs. Is it possible for me to flash the rom with Mac Bios and install the Mac drivers to make this PCI Window Card to work with a PCI Mac?
If not, Why-what's the difference?

Many Thanks Guys.

You may wonder why I reply to this post when I don't know the answer to your interesting question.

Give it a try!

Make sure you download the the regular PC Bios and drivers in case it doesn't work. To resurrect it back to its former state.

And you'll need an adapter for the monitor cable on the card end, no?

Before wasting your time or risking damaging the card/system, why not call Matrox? Don't they have a 1-800 number? If not, then try matrox newsgroups and matrox-related websites, such as www.matroxusers.com (http://www.matroxusers.com) .
