"Quartz Extreme Requirements
Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required."


QE requires 16 MB RAM. Per display, of course. So if you have a multiple display card, QE needs more RAM to allow full support on every display.

An iceBook has one display. Any outboard display just mirrors the screen. One image. 16MB. That's it. QE.

There is no magic other sort of Quartz Extreme which is only available for people with extra large video RAM. There's only Quartz Extreme. 16MB. A supported GPU. That's it. Fully supported.

Now if you know different, please say so, and point us to the references, so that we can confirm the details before buying yet more bizarre hardware for our unsupported machines.

I must have been thinking of multiple monitor configurations with the 32MB requirement. For single-monitor setups, 16MB is fully accelerated for QE.


What sort of bizarre hardware were you considering for your Pismo or iBook?
