> Quartz Extreme is not supported thru PCI slots
It might not be supported, but this is the Unsupported OS X list, isn't it?
PCI Extreme works wonderfully, and the performance boost I got from using it when I upgraded to a Radeon 9200 on my "Beige G4" was enough that it masked (at first) the L2 cache not getting enabled after the upgrade.
I must be doing something wrong. I enabled it with the hack on my B&W G4/450 with a Radeon 9200 in the 66 MHz slot but the Dock was slow and the OS didn't seem to be any faster. Maybe I should try it for a longer time.
I've used the Rage 128, Radeon 7000, and Radeon 9000, and both Rev A and Rev B beiges... and even the Radeon 7000 blows any of the Rage variants out of the water for any app that uses OpenGL.
I agree, but for general OS speedup, the $32 spent on the Rage128 is good money if you have Beige Rev. A or PowerSurge video. Honestly, I don't use anything that taxes Open GL more than the screensaver (Safari, Firefox, Eudora, MS Office, Photoshop, Illustrator, GraphicConverter, Acrobat, iChat, iTunes [no visuals]). The Rage128 is more than adequate and a good speedup for these types of Apps.
