Yes, of course. You'll need a PCIe card for the Mac Pro.

Yep.  Mr. Jobs decided to obsolete all PCI cards when Apple came over to the x86 (Intel) side.  Bad call IMNSHO...

On a positive note - you can probably sell the HDSP PCI on eBay for $150 and recoup part of Mr. Jobs' insistency to dictate your hardware needs :-)

PCI - May it live on and on in PC Ville :-P
