Holy Mother of Wozniak, does a better video card help.

I guess the folks who claimed OS X didn't do any acceleration other than
Quartz Extreme were psychopathically oversimplifying.

The CPU load does go up quite a bit though, even when I'm just typing
in a Terminal window. I assume that's the wonky PowerStorm PCI bridge
and the generally slower PCI bus that's responsible.

I've also had a bunch of hash on the screen when I had too many Quicktime
windows open at once, possibly due to the flashed card. Also, I can't detect
any speed difference between 16- and 24- bit mode.

Oh, and it goes up to around 1800x1500 on my monitor, but that makes my
brain hurt.
