It runs pretty well in the first PCI slot, QE and CI hardware supported. The disclaimer is that it will only work with a G4 ZIF, I believe that may also be true of the flashed FX5xxx cards. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Blue White Quartz Extreme Support?
Hi all! Is there a way to enable Quartz Extreme on a Blue White 450MHZ G3? It would have a 128MB PCI video card. Thanks! -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

With any Radeon card or some nVidia you can enable QE using PCI Extreme 3.1: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/8979/pci-extreme%21 On Dec 24, 2009, at 4:55 PM, John Niven wrote: I emailed this guy: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=150392736247ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT and he claims that NVidia cards are natively supported, though ATI is not (which I can attest to). I believe he's flashing the nVidia card with special firmware that enables QE Core Graphics. I don't believe this is an Xserve Apple video card. The card costs more than a whole BW though.
