It's industry standard, so I can guarantee that Clod will look AMAZING on it. It's a lot of money, but in the long run it will be worth it I think. I'm probably going to go this route too after I've saved up, and then run bootcamp with it. Good luck man, hope this helps  |
I'm a sucker for the iMac looks. Also, gettting a Mac Pro I could get the equivalens PC and mount in a pro chassi.
But now mac users don't have to worry about low end g-cards anymore. We got the thunderbolt.

Edit: Apparently PCI Express 2.1 x16 has a throughput at 500 MB/s per lane which means 500x16= 8 GB/s. Would mean that Thunderbolt would be a bottleneck at max 2 GB/s.
Well, tests and reviews will be interesting.
