2 video cards on the new Mac Pro

[bccforlife]

Hi everyone, this is my first post. Here is what I have been trying to do and figure out:

I want to buy the Mac Pro because of boot camp and be able to run XP when needed. The problem I have is that the piece of software I use for PC (an editing program) requires a Nvidia Quadro series video card and the Mac use the gforce. It is PCIe which the Mac has many slots for but my concern is that the Mac will crash because a PC card is installed and I dont know how on a Mac to shut one off and tell is to see the gforce only. I know how to on the PC side of things.

so if anyone can tell me that it will work and I can accomplish running a specific card for the pc and leave the one that comes with the mac I would appreciate it.

Thanks

Nice, I wouldn't but I need Final Cut for my job. So I actually really need both and I thought the new Pro with boot camp would be the answer.

Is it actually possible to run both?

That PCI-E slot is for other cards, not GFX.

You'll need a desktop for this. I've never heard of a mobility Quadro card.

You can install the Mac OS on a desktop...

I've heard that Final Cut is like Photoshop... might wanna see how that does too.
