Well, it does say on Apple's site that Quartz Extreme does work on ATI cards with 16m VRAM, so I assume there is something else I have overlooked.

I am a little confused. My kids really like the spinning cube [Ok, Ok, so do I] fast user log in and I understand that for this to be enabled on your computer, it must support quartz extreme. I further understand that amongst the minimum requirements are, that you possess 16m VRAM on an AGP bus. So. How come I can't get the spinning cube effect on my 2001 G3 iMac? It has the requisite 16M VRAM AGP. What else am I missing here?

The spinning cube works fine on my G4 iMac which is understandable. Doesn't work on my BW G3 which also has 16M VRAM but PCI, which is also understandable.

Thanks.

My understanding is that it requires a Radeon or a GeForce card.

I know it dosen't work with the Rage cards.

There is a hack to get it to work with PCI based versions of the Radeon which I used on my 7500.
