Because i have integrated ATI Radeon x1250 on my computer and before this the highlighted items in menu were far away from mouse hovering them! i've tried to set up smaller res. of display to 1360*1024, then it was better but now i can enjoy my fav. 1600 x 1200 res. I think it must be more known to others who want to start blending as me!!! I was also thinking about buying new graph. card but now i have pleasure without more money...

If you look at the openglinfo text, the atioglxx.dll forces blender to use the generic windows GDI software implementation. They are more cpu intensive, but at least you won't run into the ATi bugs. wereaser is completely right.

This graphic card 256 MB only cost me $40! Final Note: don't carry away buying expensive graphic card to improved blender performance 126MB,256MB and 500MB are ok.any higher and you lose your money, I just downloaded 9050 ATI 64bit drive and much better than 32bit-WoW!

In other words backgounds, images and icons work faster and without odd artifacts, but the actual viewing of your 3D model gets really really slow(especially when you turn your view around).

It would be nice to get hint in the abstract that this is a windows only subject. (I am running an ATI graphic under OS X ...) Blender runs on a variety on platforms.
