John was asking if it makes a difference for pretty standard desktop stuff like presentations. It doesn't. Theoretically perhaps, but nothing most people would notice in everyday professional use. Programs like photoshop mainly do their processing on the CPU, not the video card. The heavy processor & memory video cards on PC's, even PC-laptops (like Ati Radeon and Geforce Go), are mainly meant for gaming. That's what I was explaining.

But we're getting *very* off topic for an Open Source list now... :)

I think you need to do a little catch-up reading past 1989... 2D 
acceleration is a lot more than blitting - which is being replaced by 
hardware accelerated sprites anyway. 2D hardware stuff can include 
antialiasing, video (MPEG algo's built in), "sprites" and more... If you 
think 2D is nothing more than blitting you're _way_ off base.
