For our test platform, we chose a Pentium 4 system of the higher performance class. The drivers for the graphics cards are the latest versions available. Unfortunately, NVIDIA's Release 40 Beta Driver is currently only available for Windows XP and 2000, so for comparisons with ME, this was not included. Instead, we used the latest final driver version 30.82. ATI's Radeon was used with the newest Catalyst release v02.3.

Benchmarks
Aquanox
Under Windows ME, Aquanox runs marginally faster with the NVIDIA card. With the Radeon card, there's hardly any difference.
