GF3

It is not a Mac card. It is not an Apple OEM.

It is a GF3 for an IBM PC that has been flashed to Mac. They work fine 
in general but there will be no guarantee and no one will officially 
help you if something goes wrong.

Normally when you flash one of these you would save the original 
content - then flash. That way you could flash it back. In your case 
you will not have the original content or the flashing software. If you 
encounter a problem you will not be able to reflash to mac or IBM.

The guy flashing them can cash in quite well but unless it's really 
cheap I would buy a newer card.
