Well, the greatest performance boost from Jag comes from Quartz Extreme, which means you'll need 32mb or better VRAM and a modern OGL chipset to run it. I suspect 10.2 is going to convince a fair number of fence-sitters to buy new systems; Apple certainly hopes so. I'm certainly considering it, since the ol' frankenmac (G4 upgraded 7600) is getting a bit long in the tooth. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
