Korrupted Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 There's research being done on those old cards, but I honestly doubt they'll ever work in Leopard considering the main kext needed is PowerPC only now. I'd look into getting something nicer like a Geforce 7900GS, 8600GT, 8800GT, or on the ATI side an 2600 or 2900.

Korrupted Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Quartz Extreme = 2D acceleration for resolution changing, fancy effects, etc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_Extreme Core Image = 3D effects like Exposé, Spaces, Dashboard. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_image Refer to those Wikipedia articles for more indepth coverage.
