Gaming possibilities open up
Mac owners with a hankering for better framerates will be happy to hear that the HD 3870 video card will be coming their way soon.
Made for the Apple Mac Pro systems, the new ATI Radeon HD 3870 "Mac & PC edition" will have the same specs as the PC HD3870 which came out last Novemember: a 256-bit memory interface tied the 512MB of GDDR4 memory, 320 stream processors, hardware decoding of HD video, and the standard twin dual-link DVI ports.
The card will be available in late June for $219, which is a bit of mark-up from the current price of around a $150 for a PC HD3870.
