Just as i said, for right geometry. Etc. if you have a rectangle, you don't know whats its triangulation, until you triangulate it. In subdivision, if you flip the triangle edge in 2 triangles, you get diferent results.
I agree, ac3d automatically triangulates quads, even if we dont see.
That automatical triangulation isnt always the best so its better to do it manually. but this should only bother u in case u are modeling something lowpoly. Subdivide means highpoly .. so the angle between the different surfaces is very small, u dont have to care about triangulation...
btw, the result between subdivided quads and subdivided triangles is quite big...

i ll search on my hdd for some textures for u
