My PowerWave using the ATI video card has very poor video performance when tested with MacBench. What is wrong?
Customers who have poor video performance using an ATI card should make sure that the Graphics Acceleration extension (different from 7200 Graphics Acceleration) is installed in the Extensions folder. The Graphics Acceleration extension provides graphics acceleration for the ATI card and is required for optimal performance.

The ATI card shipped standard on PowerWaves, but may have been installed in any PCI-based system.
