If you prefer accuracy above performance you may want to enable it. It affects the accuracy for depth (Z axis) calculations.P3@600 | Abit BH6 V1.01 NV | 256MB PC133 | G400MAX (EU,AGP2X) | Quantum Atlas 10K | Hitachi CDR-8330 | Diamond FirePort 40 | 3c905B-TX | TB Montego A3D(1) | IntelliMouse Explorer | Iiyama VisionMaster Pro 17 | Win2K/NT4 -
In my opinion I wouldn't recommend enabling it. Some applications don't react to well to it. However it looks great when enabled in games that support it.Comment

I enable it and always got a performance increase according 3dmark programs. In the real world you won't notife any differance.
If your system is working well leave it be.

The only real use I've found for it so far, was when I was trying to enable stencil buffering in Quake 3 with the TurboGL. Q3 went HOM crazy when I didn't have it enabled. Other than that, if you're working fine without it, don't bother...Comment

Why don't you try it and see if you like it? If you like what you see, keep it on. If your games slow down too much, just disable it.
