0.9.2 Beta (Feb 14, 2002)
Great stuff...but it is a bit slow. ixxologic, I have AIM+, which is an AOL Instant Messenger add on, that allows transparency, also has some other neat features. I run that on a pII 300 MHz IBM 600E laptop, with some graphics card that doesn't have any decent 3D capability. On the Task Manager in Win2k, it registers 0% cpu usage for that program, and also, I notice no slow down at all. So it's definitely this implementation that is slow. So no, you don't need a fast computer at all to have decent transparency. Also, what does anti-aliasing have anything to do with it? All those bells and whistles you mention are for 3D rendering, not 2D.
23.12 (Feb 10, 2002)
23.11 is really sucking. Blue screens on nv4_disp.dll left and right. And I'd love to get 23.12, but the nvidia server (ftp.nvidia.pl) is being repaired (or at least that's what it says when you login and enter the pub directory). That's why you can't download from it.
