Thanks Brad for this one. Stardock has released a free program that tests to see if your video card and drivers support the new Windows XP APIs for alpha blending acceleration along with general performance tests. The goal behind XPBench is to get video card makers to update their drivers to take advantage of these things.
Stardock has stated that once most users have XP with proper video drivers, whole new categories of software can be created that can do visual things not seen before.
To put your video card to the test, visit https://www.xpbench.com my l337 AGP GeForce2 GTS passed with a score of 12149 WHOO!!! sounds alot don't it..
