That will work OK ? Snow leopard 10.6.1 or so ?
No - doesn't seem to boot on to a drive with less than 10.6.4 - I tried with a cloned drive. Probably due to requirement for new drivers for hardware present in the new MacPros which only seem to be in 10.6.4

With NVIDIAS 285's, I need to upgrade the drivers ? looking at the web, I found a updated driver with a CUDA support... we need that ?
not tried this yet - the GTX285 may work - very difficult to find stock anywhere... (please let me know if anyone has a source of these anywhere in the world.?.?.) dont know about the driver update - can you email me a link?
GT120 is a cheap option until apple release a fix
