    FYI, i have been playing with the application called GLDirect and it seems to greatly boost OpenGL speed for some apps. It's a Direct3D wrapper that for OpenGl.

    I have only done very brief testing with a few apps, just wanted to let people know it's out there. Some apps are much faster using this, some are slower. Fortunately it is easy to toggle between the native driver and the wrapper.

    Try the plasma screensaver from Really Slick Screensavers to see the difference.
