    Lookie here:

    http://www.apple.com/macosx/tiger/core.html



    Only macs can be ready for CoreImage, as there is no such thing? for Windows or other OS'.



    Personally, I don't have a CoreImage ready mac (yet).

    I will "On or Before 11/26/2004"



    Can't wait for the DP2.5 to ship and replace this aging DP500.

    I have practically the lowest Coreimage GPU possible - The Geforce FX5200.





    I'm planning to get an X800, though.

    1.2GHz upgrade on a once Dual 533 Digital Audio with Radeon 9800. That is my home computer so I voted yes. Alas my G4 Cube at work isn't so fortunate (GF3). \

    I'd like people to answer a bit more accurately...who's got a CoreImage-ready computer, *right now*...not who thinks is going to have a CoreImage-ready computer in a few days, or few months or before Tiger ships.

    I'd like to hear the point of this poll. So your asking who has a computer that supports it to bash Apple for releasing new machines (GASP!) without Core*-compliant GPUs? What machines aren't compatible that won't be upgraded before Tiger is released? iBooks will most likely be updated again before Tiger.



    Better yet you should research the "state-of-affairs" pre-Quartz Extreme and see which machines 6 months before QE was released were compatible.



    I don't pretend to know how Core* will stack up to QE in importance but you appear to have already decided it yourself. See, because Exposé functions fine on an iBook 500 with 16MB VRAM. As does window movement. Is it slow? Sure, but it works.



    Expecting every machine be Core*-compliant now is like expecting every machine to be 64-bit, in other words, be powered by G5 chips.

    Ah, right. So you can use this as proof of your assertions in the Quartz 2D Extreme thread that there will be 'almost no one' who can take advantage of CoreImage?



    Much more honest and realistic to ask who is going to have a CoreImage ready card when CoreImage is released, if that's the point of this.



    I mean heck, I could start a poll asking how many people have a 5GHz G6, and then use that as 'proof' that CoreTelepathy is a big mistake because no one will have the hardware to run it when it comes out in 2012... :P



    If on the other hand you're attempting to assess how many people will be buying new hardware between now and when Tiger ships, this is an odd way to go about doing it.

    Quit trying to assess the assertations of the poll

    Actually I can't tell which ATI card my Powerbook has...It only says Vendor ATI and 64mb of vram. It does have a Device ID of 0x4c66 whatever that is. Anyone know?

    As of right now - no (I don't even have one that can take advantage of Quartz Extreme). On or before 11/1/04, that answer changes to yes.



    I'm used to technologies passing by the capabilities of my machine. It's nothing to get upset about, not that anyone is getting outwardly upset, yet.

    Which Powerbook do you have? CPU speed and monitor size? That should give us enough info to tell us which you have. If it's a newer Powerbook, it would have ana ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 or 9700.

    Nope. You got a Ati 9000 Mobility. I know cause I got the same thing. Core* scales, though, so we'll still see some benefit.

    I am unsure because i have NVIDIA GeForceFX 5200 but, according to system profiler, not ultra. It is on my PB 12" 1ghz. If ram matters, i have 768 in the system and the the graphics card has 32
