Possibly, but you would also need a nvidia graphics card for nvidia 3d Vision to work. It wont work at all with the ATI card that comes standard with the 27" imac. EVGA makes a gtx285 for Mac you could probably get (or install yourself) as an upgrade.

All in one Mac with an add-in card? Nope :(

They do offer an nVidia chip for it, but its not as fast as the ATI one and I doubt its capable of 3D Vision.

Ah, gotcha. Sorry, apart from my iphone/ipod I'm allergic to Apple, don't know much about the Mac. ;)
