Why don't you also point out that the article mentioned that users might see better performance from a video card with at least 128MB of memory? That doesn't sound like universal equality among 2D performance to me.
Because -- again -- this whole thing started when you complained that the stock video card in the Mac Pro was not "reasonable," and that you wish they had gone with a better video card (instead of the second processor). The only claim I have any desire to defend at this point is that upgrading from the nVidia 7300 GT -- which has 256 MB of video RAM -- would not noticeably improve 2D performance on this computer.
Also, I haven't done an exhaustive study by any means, but I had trouble finding a computer being sold today equipped with a video card that has less than 128 MB of memory. (Apart from the computers with integrated graphics, obviously.)
Your comment was insulting because it treated me as if I was an idiot.
Well, that certainly wasn't my intention, which is why I phrased the question the way I did ("I assume... right?"). I thought it was overwhelmingly likely that you had downloaded and installed the latest drivers from ATI's website, but I just thought I'd mention the possibility that the behavior you were seeing might be a driver issue -- if only to eliminate it.
Anyway, I apologize for the question, but I can assure you there was no malice in it.
