Panther on a Cube

I have an old G4 450 MHz cube, and I upgraded it from OS 9 to Panther recently. However, I don't think all of the Panther features work correctly. For example, when doing fast user switching, it doesn't animate it in 3D. It just blinks over to the other page. Is there a way to fix this? Or is my comp just old?

Thanks, Emily

    The reason it doesn't animate Fast User Switching is because that requires Quartz Extreme, which needs at least 32 megs of RAM on your video card. You probably have an Ati Rage 128 Pro, which has 16.



    I run Panther on a Cube, but I bought a new graphics card off eBay, back when I heard about Quartz Extreme.

    works like charm on my cubicle.

    450 MHZ, 832 MB Ram, and a flashed PC 7200 Radeon with TWO montors... fun!



    just get a grafics card and you're



    and btw: never ever say a Cube is "old" - best computer design EVER!

    The graphics card in the cube isn't QE enabled. I know, cause I have one too



    The animated user switching requires QE.



    Best computer I've ever owned (but when my 12" PB gets here, I might have to change my mind.)

    Quartz Extreme would be enabled if you had a Radeon or a Nvidia video card in the Cube.
