I myself never had any crash problems when I was using PCI extreme, but let's face it, this hack definantly falls under the YMMV heading.
However, this is also an issue if you have an actual QE compatible AGP card, which they did. Even over an AGP bus, QE will run much better on 32MB than on 16MB. After all, Apple limits QE to 16MB VRAM or higher. It would be kind of like running 10.2 on a 233MHz G3. Yea, it can be done, it very usable, but would you really be happy on it?
Considering I am quite happy with my G4/450/radeon combo without QE, I'd probably be just fine. I don't do *any* gaming, so 3-D acceleration is a moot point for me.
I rather like the fact that I have two nice monitors with good resolution locked to the *identical* refresh, so there's no [EMAIL PROTECTED] crawl between the two monitors, which is annoying beyond belief to me, since my office is set up to be rather dark, the monitors are by far the brightest things in the room, generally.
But that's just me...
