The new cards are also PCIe 2.0
Would it be fair if I had a top of the line MDD G4 and complained about the card not working in it? Really, every time a piece of Apple video technology has changed the slightest, it hasn't been backward compatible. You're all the sudden surprised?
MDD's 9700 didn't work in earlier models.
G5's AGP cards didn't work in G4s.
G5's PCIe cards didn't work in anything else.
Mac Pro 1's cards didn't work in anything else.
Mac Pro 2's cards won't work in anything else... see a trend?
