Sorry, Mark. AFAIK, QE optimizes with 64 MB video Ram, this QuickSilver (see QS below) has 32 MB. It's not unusual for Apple to get ahead of itself or even fall over itself. Over here in N.A., your employer foots the bill for the latest gewgaws - and it impresses the clients no end. (I suspect the real work is done in a back office, using older but way more reliable HW & SW. When deadlines beckon, you don't use beta anything - and if anything is beta, it's OSX.) These two QS were gracing the office space of a failed company (Proxima - produced billing SW). Also, shoehorning two G4 CPUs into the same CPU case won't convince Motorola to re-invest in CPU development - and IBM's version doesn't allow for Altivec. Stay tuned - Cheers George
