Will the Mac version of the ATI Rage 128 Pro with DVI work on a PC with Windows?

Looks like you need to modefy.

EDIT:
I remember that on some Ati cards and Nvidia cards. You need to remove resistors and/or mod the teeth on the AGP connector. You need a special bios on some cards because Apple have allways wanted to lock stuff on to their platform specifically.

If all this applies to rage or just some of it, I do not recall. All I know is that you need to mod on some level.

Don't eat stuff off a 15 year old never cleaned cpu cooler.

Depends. Cards with the Apple Display Connector took 25V from the AGP bus (hence the pin tape mod when converting PC cards to Mac). On the other hand, when I converted a Radeon 9250 for use with a PowerMac G4 Sawtooth without ADC support, I had to move a SMD resistor, otherwise I'd get a checkerboard-like pattern.
