Quartz Extreme
If you ever wondered exactly how much of a difference Quart Extreme makes, try running JBuilder on a Mac that doesn't have it. My Cube has a Rage 128 video card and Quartz Extreme doesn't work, JBuilder just about kills it. Really sucks. It's funny to see the flurry screen saver come on and draw at about 1 frame per second.
Wish new video cards for cubes weren't so rare and expensive.
