No Altivec. The rotating cube effect is only on the G4's.

This is not correct. I have seen with my own eyes the rotating cube effect on a G3 -- but it has to have a 32MB Radeon-class card or better. The effect is Quartz Extreme-dependent, not processor dependent.

True, but I think the point is that only G4s, in general, COME with Quarts Extreme as an "out of the box" feature.


Quartz Extreme can, of course, be ADDED to a G3 after the fact, accounting for your experience.
