Subjectbrowser speed test and graphic card.
Date27 April 2005 00:20
Hello.

First of all would I like to thank you for a very complete and informative
test of different browsers(and even on different platforms!).
As you might guess there is a but(sort of at least).
I wonder which graphics card you are using in these tests?
If it's not too much trouble I wonder which drivers where used on the
different platforms too(my main concern it linux platform)?

I know that you may be swamped with mails so if you are busy or just feel
that you dont care, feel free to totaly ignore this mail.

Bugs and kisses.

Björn,

> I wonder which graphics card you are using in these tests?

Windows and Linux:
S3 Graphics Inc. SavageIX (running at 1280x1024x16bit+)

Mac:
Unfortunately it is in Wales, and I am in Norway for another 5 months...
But it is not high enough spec to support the user switch animation 
(running at 1024x768x16bit+).

Windows:
version 5.1.2001.0 by Microsoft (default on XP SP 2)

Linux:
driver identified only as "savage" (default with SuSE 9.1)

Mac:
proprietary (default on Mac OS 9 and X 10.3 and 10.4)

might not be the detail you were after, but it's as much as I can 
scrounge right now :)
