I Would recommend installing Secrets Pref Pane > http://secrets.blacktree.com/ it gives you access to loads of hidden options in Mac OS X. you will find the "Animate Window Zooms" option under the "Finder" section.

That's basically the same as defaults write -g NSAutomaticWindowAnimationsEnabled -bool false mentioned in my answer – Lri Jan 1 at 10:00
They both achieve the same thing yes, I find the prefpane is more convenient. – Wezly Jan 1 at 20:11
