I just presumed it was another troll coming in to stir up an argument. Like your original post said, there are definitely apps which require it such as 3D modelling, Graphic design, number crunching. At the moment, you simply can't have fast enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading about it a bit on the Apple site, but I just skimmed thru it. Anyone willing to gimme a quick rundown on what it is/does, because the next system we get is gonna be a Mac. My wife has already commanded it be so. ;) The Quartz Extreme engine converts every object on your desktop into a texture just before it is sent to your graphics processor to be displayed on the screen. This way all of the effects can be handled with hardware acceleration, pixel shaders, T&L, all of that kind of stuff. That's why it requires you to at least have a Geforce2MX.
