    AFAIK, there are no PCI or AGP cards with "MacPro bios", so that BIOS type should only be relevant for PCIe cards.

    Helpful discussion.
    I will get the MacPro X1900XT and try it unmodified with the original NVIDIA card in place. Then I’ll flash a G5 bios and try it alone and with NVIDIA card. Finally I’ll see if it will take a PC bios.
    Will keep the thread updated.

    Keep in mind to put the Radeon card in the primary slot, else it won't work for that reason alone.
