Apple Nvidia Geforce 120 on Windows?

[DigitalRicky]

I'm curious of trying this. I have an older Mac I don't really use. Is it possible to take out the graphics card and use it on a windows computer? And install the windows drivers for the gt 120?

I already have a 680, but Id like to throw on another monitor

I personally have no idea. I can tell you that hardware for Apple products cost the earth and video cards for a PC costing $40 to $50 (Radeon HD 6400) cost $100 or more. I suspect there is something in the video cards bios that prevents PC cards working in macs and vice versa. You may want to post on a Mac hardware site. Why don't you just try it, I doubt it would do any harm, the connectors are the same. Post back and let us know.

Well I put the card in, and booted up the computer. Suddenly the whole room started shaking and a bright light came from the computer. Everything went quiet and I blacked out. I woke up in what seemed to be an apple store, but empty one and outside was just white.

I was told I had broken the sacred act of the law of Apple and I will be haunted forever and ever by the spirit of Steve Jobs.

In all seriousness... the computer booted but nothing came on the monitors

Seriously there is something in the VGA bios to stop the cards working in regular PC equipment and vise versa. Apple is a locked system, PC is open.
Good to know the answer though.
