What if you want to upgrade your video card can you open it and change it out? or do you have to spend another 2k for a new one? I like pcs better cuz I know an upgrade wont cost me an arm and a leg.
    Here's an old video showing a video card upgrade on an older model MacPro. It shows just how easy these things are to upgrade. If you choose to boot into Windows it doesn't matter if you use a card from Apple or a card from anyone else as Windows runs naively. The cards firmware doesn't need to be designed for Mac Intel EFI. The same is true for MacOS X versions 10.7+.

    If you do choose to use a video card intended for use in PCs in a Mac, you will see nothing on the monitors (connected to that card) until either Windows or OS X boots.
