It's a feature which was introduced after the New World transition -- 
not all New World Macs have it.  I know for certain it's not there on 
any PCI graphics New World Mac (B&W G3, early iMacs, early iBooks).  
Based on the fact that it works on your 350 MHz Sawtooth, I'd guess 
it's there on any AGP machine, so long as your firmware is up to date.
