An Athlon64 should work since PiDiP is not effectv. Some effects are
ported from Effectv. Requirements for effectv have little to do with
PiDiP. Besides, most MMX and SSE stuff is supported on Athlons and
have for several years. Just because a few of the effects have been
ported does not mean PiDiP is a port of effectv to PD. PiDiP contains
a lot more than just some nifty effects.Who started saying this thing about PiDiP being a port of effectv
anyway? it needs to stop, right now.
I first brought up effectv saying that effectv code was used in PiDiP,
therefore PiDiP must be released under the GNU GPL. I don't know where
the idea of pidip being an effectv port came from.
