due to the lack of an AGP slot on the motherboard, you can never
have Core-Image or even Quartz-Extreme graphics.
You can enable Quartz Extreme using PCI Extreme 3.1, and some PCI
nVidia FX5200 and 6200 cards support Core Image over PCI on "New
World" Macs such as the B&W/Yikes and later, but won't work for "Old
World" Beige and earlier.

Both Quartz Extreme & Core Image work on hackintosh under Snow Leopard
with an FX5200 or FX6200 PCI.
Anyone using a PCI card in a Mac should be aware that normally using a
PCI video card that doesn't support Quartz Extreme & Core Image will
disable both QE & CI for the AGP or PCIe graphics card also. If you're
using a PCI card in a Mac as a 2nd graphics card it's important to
have one that will enable QE & CI, or you will loose acceleration for
both cards.
