I wonder if people realize that there is an entire community out there that are dedicated to porting PC graphic cards to the Mac, both PPC and intel based. A poor example would be that I, myself use a FIC Radeon 9000 PRO AGP PC video card that is flashed with a modded APPLE/ATI OEM Mac Edition Radeon 9000 PRO firmware, inside my playtoy Apple G4 "Sawtooth" computer. It allows me to do a little Ghost Recon GOLD Edition gaming once in awhile! 
BTW, some of the best classic games of all time were made for the mac and only for the mac. Bungie's Marathon series comes to mind! Also, their Myth trilogy was quite good as well (Myth : The Fallen Lords, Myth II : SoulBlighter and Myth III). Ah, memories!
BTW, just think if Apple stuck with IBM... they could be using their new POWER6 chips (OK, that wouldn't be very practical but it would be cool)!
Oh and pay no attention to Bret, he was abused by a rogue Apple employee back when he was a child. Hes never gotten over it, even to this very day...
