Hello Mark & All

Let me muddy up the waters  about QE on PCI Macs. Your comments are 
invited

Equipment: B&W Yosemite V1 / G4 500 - 1MB XLR8 CPU upgrade / 1024MB RAM 
/ X2.1
Radeon 7000 PCI Mac Edition in ATA66MHZ slot  drving a VGA HP 17" 
monitor
QE enabled  via PCI Extreme-2.0 "patch"( 94k) on Primary Hard Drive 
(IBM 75GXP)
QE NOT enabled on Backup Hard Drive(IBM 60GXP)

SpeedRun X 1.1.3 (751K) installed

Ran tests

With QE enabled, SpeedRun Graphics  measured 92
With QE Not enabled SpeedRun Graphics  measured 228 !!

So what does this mean ? What does SpeedRun Graphics actually measure?

Also, researching www.xlr8yourmac.com ; "Feedback on Hack to Enable 
Quartz Extreme for Radeon PCI cards" several users reported   the same 
SpeedRun measurement results on their boxes

Despite the SpeedRun  Graphic test results , I will stay with QE 
enabled, as above.

BTW
I do not "game" so i really have no way to  measure and/or compare  any 
graphic  improvements

I ran a DVD with QE enabled   for about 1 hour. I  could not detect any 
  video skips or audio breakups. All appeared "normal". How about that!
