I wonder whats up with windows users getting shafted on the 10 bit uncompressed end. There is only one company that makes one for windows and it isn't even shipping yet(There are some others but they are only with a 100k+ synphony or avid ds system). The one windows one is bluefish444 which is the same as the mac digital voodoo cards, but under a different name. Mac has like 4-5 companies that make 10 bit uncompressed cards.

Only thing is this card is SDI only, so you have to buy a little converter if you have any analog devices. SDI to analog converter runs between $300-800 depending on what analog your going too(svideo, component, etc..).

Still a great deal for $995!

I think Apple should support these guys. I mean you could buy yourself a decent G4, with a sexy 22" Cinema Display (~5300$ /w rebates) add the card, and still manage with better value than those real 10Bit solutions for PC...RealBlue444 included. It's a shame G4s are not so powerful at this stage. Imagine the solution above with an IBM 970 based PowerMac replacing the G4..:drool:
