I have been developing some Windows tools to get system configuration information, as well as graphics card information.  They are not yet ready for prime time, but they are getting there.  I will be able to do something similar for Linux once I get working Linux drivers for my video card, but at this point I won't be able to do anything for Mac or other platforms since I dont' have that hardware available.

Not sure how much this matters, but I will be posting nightly ATI 
optimized builds on the forums very soon. Unfortunately though, they 
will be for Windows (seeing as how that's the OS with the REAL problems :) )
