Okay for starters NEVER EVER BUY AN NVIDIA MX ANYTHING.
MX are JUNK!!!!!!! WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!
hope  you got that straight for less money than a Gforce 4MX board you can get a Gforce 3 board
which are at least two times faster than an MX board which is nothing but an updated Gforce2 core.

also Nothing by Nvidia will be supported on the Amiga.
A quote from VGR
 "nVidia told Amiga no, but in a few more words making it quite clear they had no
chance of getting any kind of support regardless of the monetary amount with which they would pour
into the the pockets of the nVidia board of directors, not even developers documentation on the chips."

ATI documentation for the 9000 series is just being released for nonwindows aplications. (IE linux, Amiga )

so right now your choices are Voodoo,Permedia2&3,Rage128,Radeon 7000 series & 8000 series.
also get the PC version.
Personaly I am using Radeon 7000s in my AmigaOnes

Hope this helps

Kurt

oops! silly me, thats what I get for answering post while half asleep
yep If you are going to buy a card for your Mac
get a radeon. A 9000Pro version is a good choice for under two hundred dollars.
Get the PRO.
