hi i was wondering if anyone knows if there is a problem upgrading to 10.2 on my iMac DV SE. i've heard that I don't have enough video RAM (i have 8MB of video RAM) to upgrade to 10.2 because Quartz Extreme will put a heavy burden on the communications bus and eventually burn it out..
anyone knows if this is true?
thank you!

You can run 10.2 wihtout enabling Quartz Extreme. Here are the requirements for Quartz from the linked page:
Quartz Extreme functionality is supported by the following video GPUs: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Ti or any AGP-based ATI RADEON GPU. A minimum of 16MB VRAM is required.
