THIS VIDEO WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO ENABLE QUARTZ 2D EXTREME.
GIVE YOUR MAC MORE SPEED! Give it a try, if it doesn't work you can always go back, edit the document and write "NO" at the end of the file. That will disable Quartz 2d Extreme. Watch the clip and you'll know what i'm talking about.

  • Hi there, how does that work in Snow Leopard? Will it harm my graphics chip in any way?

    I'm using the strongest (and latest , 2,6ghz c2d) Penryn Macbook pro. This was the last version before the unibody.

  • I have no information concerning Quartz 2D Extreme and snow leopard, so try it at your own risk. If I find anything new about this subject I will let you know.

  • can anyone help? when i open the windowserver.plist thing i get a bunch of stuff that says nothing about quartz2d or anything like that, its much different than in the video, can anyone help me enable this?

  • can you please post a video of what is written in your "windowserver.plist" ? ,or PM me with that.

  • I think Snow Leopard does this in a different way. Cool song.

  • hello there, thanks for the video! I have an Imac 24" and I can't find the file that you modified, can I have some help? how to find it? best regards, from Chile!

  • I have searched the mac forums and some people OWNING IBOOK G4 have reported a boost in performance. Do this at your own risk...

    (If you were running leopard on an aluminium Imac or even the older macbooks or macbooks pro i would've given you a big YES in enablig the quartz 2d extreme)

    The name of the song is: Yael Naim - New soul

  • First of all. I would really not recomend enabling this feature in OSX Tiger !!!

    Second of all, you have to know that quartz 2d extreme puts all all all the graphics loads on the GPU ( you video card), this way the cpu is free to do "numbers crunching", so this is why there is an improvement in the overall performance. The other thing is that enabling this feature will stress out your video card. Medium to Powerfull video cards are needed and the mac mini/ ibook g4 do not have those.

  • whats the name of this sone?? also i am getting a g4 ibook and i am getting a mini mac will it work for both pleasereply back thanks tell me the name of this song!!!

  • at the end of the line the word is YES .

    If you don't like the result of enabling quartz 2d extreme just erase YES and type NO at the end of the line. That's it. hope it helped.
