You need a Radeon card to enable Quartz Extreme. (or equivalent  
nVidia). It should enable itself without need of any additional  
software. You should run XBench on these, and then enable Quartz  
Extreme and see if your XBench scores increase. In Leopard, Core  
Graphics is also nice, but on a 400MHz G4 it'd still be really slow,  
but at least you could see those amazing Core Graphics effects, albeit  
in semi-slow motion. I'm not sure what the minimum Core Graphics  
supported video card is, but it probably costs as much as your whole  
Sawtooth, or close to it?
