As a Fuse owner myself, I have to attest that the card is fantastic. It has been worth every penny I paid. Just note it's much less finicky with QT6 (QT5 had some very strange issues with it), and its decompression accelerator actually conflicts with ATI QT acceleration (but a ResEdit tweak can cure this). It has rendered fabulous video again and again. My greatest displeasure with it is that there will be no OS X drivers (directly said by Aurora themselves), so I'm forced to buy the last generation Dualie so I have the last Mac that can natively boot OS 9 -- although I won't be too sad with two 1.25GHz G4s to keep me company! ;-) -- ----------------------------- personal page: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Point Loma Nazarene University * [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- When in doubt, take a pawn. -- Mission: Impossible ("Crack-Up") ------------ -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
