currently I'm using v2.08 of the ROM and have noticed that neither QE or Core Image are being supported.
Will going up to v2.26 enable one (or both) of those?
If you're using the "reduced" 2.08 ROM then upgrading to the reduced 2.26 might actually cause your card to not function, but you can always flash back, so you'll have to see? If you're using the full size 2.08 ROM absolutely upgrade to the full size 2.26 ROM, it improves function in OS X.
In order to enable QE you'll need PCI Extreme 3.1 available at MacUpdate.com. You can't enable Core Image on any PCI cards other than hacked ROM GeForce FX5200 Ultra cards on PPC Macs. On hackintosh PCs running OS X there are quite a few PCI cards that enable both QE & CI, but PPC Macs only have the FX5200 Ultra.
As I mentioned earlier, the main reason I'm using this card is to enable monitor rotation -- so basically whatever ROM allows for that under 10.4.
You'd need ATI Display Utility 4.5.7 in order to rotate, it's not handled natively in Tiger 10.4.11.
