While I agree that testing out side the browser will give comparison between machines we also need to know how much slower all the diferent browsers are giong to make it. Are certain browsers / browser versions / combinations better than others for frame rate? Does my client have the best combination? or a particularly bad one?

Still shows the ATI to be less worthy. ------------------------------------------------------ David Burgoyne E Proctor & Stevenson Ltd.
