There was a program Win3d that enabled z800's use with ati. nvidia is a better combination though.

Excellent, I have been waiting to use my z800 with linux, in the meantime xp works ok.
Would the driver be easy to port it to OSX?

From my tests the webkit nightlies perform the fastest on javascript, significantly faster then chrome. safari 3.2 doesn't contain the latest js performance optimizations.
Submission + - Hybrid Cars No Better than 'Predicting' Cars
eldavojohn writes: "There's no doubt been a lot of analysis done recently on energy consumption, especially on the road. Now, a study released today reveals that cars with traffic flow sensors built into them can perform just as efficiently as hybrids. The concept of an 'intelligent' car that communicates with the highway or other cars is an old idea but the idea of them using sensors to anticipate braking could vastly reduce fossil fuel consumption. From the article, "Under the US and European cycles, hybrid-matching fuel economy was reached with a look-ahead predictability of less than 60 seconds. If the predictability was boosted to 180 seconds, the newly-intelligent car was 33 percent more fuel-efficient than when it was unconverted." Now, the real question will be whether or not you can convince consumers that the three minutes of coasting up to a red light or halted traffic is worth the 33 percent less gas and replacing your brake pads/cylinders less often."
