• VTBook does support Quartz 2D acceleration, but not Quartz Extreme. VTBook will also not hardware accelerate your internal video, but still video playback using software Quicktime player and scaler will be possible with satisfactory results. • Mac OS X requires an AGP interface to support Quartz Extreme, due to the very high bandwidth required. For this reason VTBook will perform better using Quartz 2D acceleration. • Most of the graphical effects in Mac OS X, including Exposé functionality, are available also on VTBook and they are accelerated through Quartz 2D. • VTBook’s 2D drivers use the VTBook’s 3D engine for some of the most complex 2D effects, acting in a Quartz Extreme-like way. This is done only when the resulting performance is better than using just the 2D acceleration engine.
