A complaint about Quatz Extreame

Well from what I've gathered, yes. Right now the OS doesn't really use much of any graphic card for rendering system functions. The card itself for 10.2 really gives you the ticket to use Quartz Extreme, which of course is the OS rendered and offloaded to the GPU rather than the core processor.

Ok, here goes the rant.
1st) I am sick of hearing people complain about QE. Yes, I know that I was one of the folks on the first day that had a knee jerk reaction, but now reality has set in. The fact is that it is a very postive thing that Apple is putting into their systems. We need OS X to advance, and we need it to advance quickly. To think that Apple would sit on the A$$ and do nothing to speed up the interface, is well, stupid. Am I disappointed that my systems will not support it? Yes. Am I now hoping that next year my wife will let me buy a new system? Yes.
2) The crap about Apple and their prices. Look, Apple computers are expensive for a couple of reasons. First, they have to pass the cost of R & D onto someone. Lets face it. Apple doesn't sit on its butt and forget about ergonomics like PC manufactures, they actually do something with their systems design. Second, they have to make a profit. Apple has been very consistant in their profit earnings which is one of the reasons that it has over 4 billion dollars in cash reserve. Third, you get what you pay for. Period.
3) The fair weather Apple fan. Now I am not a zealot, but for all you people out there that are saying, x.2 better fly, or to hell with Apple, well that is just stupid. Do us all a favor, and go buy an eMachine. Macs, right now, with X.1.4 are so far ahead of PC's in stability, reliability, cost maitenance, and many other factors that it is rediculous. Grow up, and if you don't like the product, then find something better! What's that you can't, then try going without a Mac for a week, and see if you feel differently about it.

QE sounds cool to me, does it bother me that my rev A TiBook can't run it as fast as the latest hardware, of course it does....... but then again, technology is evolving so rapidly, that I personally do not expect a machine that will be 18 months old when OSX with QE is released to run it as fast as the latest current hardware......
OSX.(whatever number here) when released as arn said;
So aslong as it works on my machine..... I'll be happy....... but I realise that it won't run as fast on my machine as it does on the latest and greatest.....(obviously) ...... but you can't expect it to!!
I think this is a great technology move by Apple........ 🙂 😉 😀

Fair warning...I have a keg of 'Whoop-Ass' on one side and a fully fueled flame thrower on the other.
For those of you B&Ming over not being able to run Jaguar, get OVER IT! If you have any Mac produced over the past few years, and can run the current version of OS X, you will be able to use the new one. It will run BETTER on systems that are newer and have better video cards (well, duhhhh).
For those who have a G4 with a Sawtooth motherboard (or better/newer) you have three options... Replace the AGP video card with one of the new Radeon's being offered, Add a PCI video card, or do nothing. The first option will give you the best results, since you will have kicking graphics for everything.
For the people with Blue and White G3's, you can also get one of ATI's PCI video cards and most likely get performance damned close to the people using AGP cards. This would also probably work for people with beige G3 systems.
For the people with portables... well, install it and find out. Anything with at least an AGP graphics card, you WILL be able to use Jaguar, just not as well as those of us that have at least a Mobile Radeon inside our system.
I picked up my new TiBook before I heard about Jaguar's requirements/recommended hardware. The way I see it, if it is really bad, then downgrade the system, if you even install it to begin with. Jaguar is NOT a required update. You could use 10.1.x forever and get away with it. It's NOT like what m$ does for systems.
