Re: Speed of Panther on older machines

[Tom Tubman]

I used the words "fully supported" for that reason.  I suspected that 
much of QE was supported on 16MB VRAM video cards that are otherwise 
QE compliant with the full 32 MB.  Apple's literature states that ATI 
Radeons and NVidia cards are QE compliant and that full support needs 
32 MB VRAM or more.  Obviously many parts of QE are also supported 
with 16 MB.

Umm.

(Does fast user switch on iBook. Watches cube rotate by.)

That sure looked like QE to me...

Now it may be that 32M is needed for QE on two screens, but that 
don't apply to an iBook, does it.

As for the iBook/700, it does not fully support Quartz Extreme 
because (as far as I can tell from Apple's Specs) no models shipped 
with 32 MB VRAM, only 16MB.  32 is required for full QE 
compatibility.
