AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ 2.40GHz + nVidia 7300GS 256 MB + nVidia driver = 17 fps I fear that the CPU can manage transparency, and will calculate the CPU time for demanding applications, but if the gate is to be used GPU (Gallium 3D) in future, for the calculations, that is a very important project for Haiku.
