PC to Mac
I am looking to buy a mac pro 8-core system. I have a PC system right now and my questions are can I use my SATA HD's after re-formating and can I use my PCI express video card from my PC system? Thanks for any information to my questions!!!

Re: PC to Mac
Hard drives, yes.
Video card, no.

Re: PC to Mac
Oh, I should caveat the hard drive answer; the new Mac Pro uses a standard backplane mounting. If the hard drives are standard desktop drives, they should be fine. Things like the older Western Digital Raptors (the 10,000 rpm drives) require adapters to mount.
