I'm looking for the PCI bus patch that improves video playback performance on older G3's. I can't seem to find it anymore? Any help?

Personally I find it hilarious that you have the hots for my gramma. Especially seeins how she is 3x your age, and makes your Brittney-Spears-wannabe 30-something wife look like a rag doll who went thru WWIII with a burning stick of dynamite up her a** :)

Actually in my case it improves it significantly. I get far less chopiness when viewing videos of anytype.

Thanks for the link.

One way to help "fix" it is to get a better video card, like a Radeon 7000 or 9200, but that will only get you so far, as the pci bus is the main limiting factor in the older macs, and you can't "fix" that, although the QE hack helps in some cases.......
