I don't know this for sure, but I heard you can put a consumer video card in a Mac Pro. You cannot boot from it, nor use it in OS X (due to both lack of drivers and EFI support), but it will work in Windows via Boot Camp.

Yeah, you're right, although I've looked into it and it's often far from easy (especially with power cable and slot requirements for PCIx channels and double width cards). I was going to get the ridiculously expensive HD 4870 from Apple but there were a lot of complaints about it simply not working in Windows under Boot Camp which freaked me out a bit. Supposedly Apple's response to that was they don't "support" that..
