Ah, see, I tend to do more in Terminal where it's not scrolling, it's rendering text in a translucent window... and millions really does seem faster there. > By choppiness, I mean that the window doesn't move smoothly around > the screen, The transparent Terminal (I use 80x50 size) only updates > the window location a few times per second with either of these video > cards at Thousands or Millions.

I got started using computers in 1972 when I got access to a timesharing system at my father's office. The first programming I did was hacking Hamurabbi so I could cheat. So I have fairly loose standards... when somebody says something looks choppy I think in terms of seconds, not tenths of seconds. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
