ATi Mobility Radeon X700 64bit-64MB

No major issue. One minor issue: MDI buttons can not be skinned. I think this isn't an issue caused by graphics card or driver.

ATI X800XT-PE with Catalyst 6.1 on a very fresh install of XP SP2 (p4-3.2Ghz, 1GB RAM).  WB5 works fine but slows my desktop way down.  Happens with all skins that come stock.  Tried WB v5.00.01 and b.011.  I used Passmark Performance Test 6.0 to come up with differences:

Benchmark    no WB    WB5
----------- -------- -------
2D Lines     118.76    7.25
2D Rects      89.54   54.48
2D Shapes      7.90    3.46
2D Fnts/Txt  168.04   71.34
3DWin Simp  2014.39    9.39
3DWin Med    350.54   17.92 
3DFullScr     32.41   32.41

I don't know what all the number mean precisely, but I can replicate them on demand.  In fact, no tweaking I've tried within WB seems to make more than 5% difference.

Mjollnir32: The slow 3dWin results is due to a problem on ATI boards when a windowed D3D app uses antialiasing and there is 1 or more pixels of perpixel on screen.  This can be reproduced with a simple DX gadget on screen (on a multi monitor system you can even see the change as you move the window in & out of the screen the test is running on).

We will be reporting this to ATI to see if they can fix it in future drivers.

I can reproduce those 2D slowdowns and I suspect the slowdown is caused by the progress bar updating.  I will post here with more information when I get it.

It definitely feels slow to use.  Before I reinstalled XP and ATI drivers (had to anyway), it was getting to point that I would shutdown ObjectDock and WB in order to get things done.  Benchmarks are meaningless to me if you don't see the difference.

I will try turning off the perpixel or find some older skins to use in the meantime.  Thanks for the heads-up.

Nvidia GeForce FX Go5200 - Problems with transparency on start menu. The First time the start menu is opened it keeps whatever is in the transparent area. So, if the background changes or another windows is behind the start menu when it is opened a second time, then instead of showing transparent area properly it shows the original contents from the first time opened.

Otherwise seems to be ok. Including transparency on explorer windows and taskbar.

Toshiba Protege M200 - Tablet. Latest drivers published by Toshiba - so not as new as what is available on Nvidia - except GeForce FX Go5200 drivers are not available directly from nvidia - without hacking away that is.
