Looks good to me. It says fully compatible in the wiki. If you need help getting it to work after installing the card, see these threads:

Thank you pcwiz, I owe you one.

You're welcome :(

 

 

I know that it has been numorouse attempts to get 512MB cards to work in OSx86 hackintosh with little bit of hack and with some success stories, I wonder if my original, MAC certified, designed for mac OSX with its original ATI driver from ATI website - my ATI x1900 with 512MB will be friendly accepted by my hackintosh? anyone had any experience with that.

Buying a Mac card for PC is pointless, since it has EFI and your PC doesn't, so basically you still need to put natit/titan to make it fully recognized on your hackintosh.

 

So at this point, just buy a PC X1900, it is cheaper and does the same :(

 

And yes you'll use ORIGINAL Apple drivers, NATIT/TITAN is just a hack so Apple's driveers are loaded with PC Cards (and AGAIN, the Mac version of it will be considered as a PC card on your PC)

 

Yep, 512MB works with X1900. No special hack.

Exactly! Don't buy the Mac version of a card for a pc. It's for Macs, with EFI, not bios. It probably won't work at all.
