You misunderstand me, on several counts. [1] This isn't Panther's Quartz Extreme, which only accelerates window compositing & passes huge textures to and from the graphics card over the bus - which doesn't work well on PCI. QE doesn't support PCI for a good reason. [2] I know about PCI Extreme, and the plist hack. This one comes up regularly. [3] Quartz 2D Extreme offers exciting new possibilities but requires certain specific GPU chips which aren't available in PCI format. Ergo, it won't work over PCI, unless someone produces a PCI card with either a Radeon 9600 or a GeForce FX - or better.
