It is the Mac edition. I have had one for years running in an 8600/300 (604ev) that we have here in the house, in which it behaves itself just fine, though I gather that they were designed for the faster PCI architecture of the Platinum G3 series.
I am not especially interested in the gaming side of things, and have decent PCI cards for such as is done around here in the gaming side of things already. Of greater interest to me are two things: the DVI port, and the fact that a boxed Voodoo 5 5500 Macintosh Edition recently sold on a certain auction site for US$150. Hey, I have a box from the one in the 8600 that I've had for years, and that ballpark sum would finance my tinkering with the older and slower stuff for quite a while.
So do I keep it or sell it on? Hmm.
