Keeps crashing System Preferences while testing the screen saver's stock quote feed. Video very jerky on ATI9600xt rv360 on PPC G5, use to be smooth under Tiger. This version got worse.

Mac3DWatch ReviewCareful - Version: 1.3, 3/19/2005 07:57AM PST

The supported graphics cards I guess are higher-end upgrades. I tried Mac3DWatch on my iMac G5, but apparently the Ultra version of GeForce FX5200 is needed. The RSS feed only worked the first time the screensaver ran. After that, just the spinning clock. When I attempted to reset the options for it, System Preferences crashed. I suspect the crash is a direct result of having Mac3DWatch in the screensaver folder. Once I deleted all related files, no more crashes. The developer did respond to my inquiry and I tried his suggestions, but the same thing occurred. Too bad. It is pretty.
