My video card doesn't support Quartz Extreme.
When I activate exposé the screen resolution is pretty bad. Is it any better with Quartz enabled?

Sorry but I can't figure out how to attach my screen shot.

Thanks.

Exposé relies heavily on Quartz Extreme. Without a Quartz Extreme compatible graphics card, exposé won't look as good.

It's true. I have a 233 iMac here that works with Expose pretty well, but it isn't anti-aliased at all.

You're right… it works. I was just curious to know if there was a difference in the quality of the rendering w/ or w/o Quartz.

I guess I'm looking for another reason to upgrade my vid card.

Aesthetically, it's like having an OS 9 icon in your dock. Looks like hell but it works.

Thanks for the input.
