If you have QE enabled on your 73-9600 Mac and you use the PCI slots for anything else except video, it's saturating the PCI bus and degrading performance instead of enhancing it. I'd keep it at regular Quartz acceleration and turn off QE.
Yeah, I've suspected that. But then I'd lose the pretties! ;-)
Anyway, on a similar note... a little while back I added a PCI base 100 ethernet card (RTL 8139 chipset) for better speed when moving large files across my network. Thing is, most transfers would die before finishing. I'd usually have to either reboot or disable and re-enable networking to get things working again. I just chalked it up to a buggy driver, and stopped using it, returning to the Base 10 built-in ethernet of the 9600. Now I'm thinking disabling QE would make the card run without error.
I think I'll go back to running w/o QE for a while, and see how it goes.
