My tests...
System : Intel Pentium4A 2GHz / 1Go DDR266 / VIA Chipset
Operating System : Windows XP Pro SP1
Graphics Card : ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB [R350 chip]
Driver : ATI CATALYST 4.4
Functionality : Slooowwww....too slow...Blender 2.32 works correctly and slow down after 4 or 5 minutes
I've tried to disable AA and AnisoFiltering but no way 
System : Intel Pentium4A 2GHz / 1Go DDR266 / VIA Chipset
Operating System : Linux Mandrake 9.2 [kernel 2.4.22.26]
Graphics Card : ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB [R350 chip]
Driver : fglrx as dated as the CATALYST 4.4
Functionality : I don't know how enabling the 3D acceleration, so I use Blender correctly with small scenes...but when I open one that contains 1.300.000 polys, Blender slows down (logical...). No bugs.

system: amd k7 2,2
ddr 400 2x512
gforce4 440mx (i know, but thats the one i got)
os: red hat 9 (kernel 2.6.5 patched nvidia driver)
works great for a couple of minutes but looses 3d aceleration and slows down (2.25 runs perfect on the same system)
os: win XP (latest driver)
no complaints ( not as good as the first 5 min. with linux, mind you)
conclution:
on win sloightly slower than on linux, but stable. unstable on linux
tried everything to get it going well on linux
2.4 and 2.6 kernels: same result as mentioned:it slows down
systemII: hp pavillion laptop
amd mobile 910
ati-igp 320
driver:latest catalyst (04.04)
os: winXP home
blender (all versions) sucks!! verry slow
tryed diverent drivers without luck
conclusion: with ati it takes ages to react and build ui
impossible to work with
( all other 3d apps perform nicely)

System: Pentium 4 3.0GHz, 1G DDR RAM, Intel 865PE chipset.
Operating system: Windows XP Home, Service Pack 1.
Graphics card: ATI Radeon 9600XT with 128MB 2.8ns DDR RAM. Manufactured by GeXCube.
Driver/OpenGL version: Catalyst 4.4.
Functionality or problems: Gradual slow-down in menu redraw speed. After approximately 10 minutes, Blender becomes unusable. Results can be reproduced using Blender 2.32 and 2.33, with Catalyst 4.2, 4.3, and 4.4.
Any additional notes: The problem has been corrected by using the OpenGL driver (atioglxx.dll) packaged with Catalyst 3.8.

Driver: NVIDIA Forceware 56.72

Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP1

Notes: Blender even runs well through a VNC client window, surprisingly enough.
System: Gateway 450X, 1.4ghz Pentium-M, Intel Centrino laptop
Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP1
Graphics Card: ATI Mobility 7500
Driver: Catalyst 3.5(?)
OpenGL: 1.x
Functionality: Works well enough, no major rendering issues. Seems stable. Have not used it much on this system. Blender on laptops is a P.I.T.A. though, as using the FN key to switch into the keypad mode and back is annoying. Touch pad isn't fun on the go either

AMD Athlon XP 2500+
ABIT KV7 motherboard (KT-600 chipset)
256MB RAM
Graphics Driver- Running on Catalyst 4.6, 3.9's atioglxx.dll moved into Blender directory
Graphics Card- Sapphire ATI Radeon 7000VE
Blender Version 2.33a
OS- WinXP SP1
Functionality: Seems to run as slow as it did on my Pentium (1) 200Mhz Computer. Strange, it is. Runs at around 130 fps nonstop. The menus take about 10 seconds each to show. Overall, extremely slow. Oddly enough, on other computers it runs amazingly quick. Really wierd, cause it can be the only program open, fresh after a restart, etc. etc. until it is definitely not bogged down, and it STILL is like this. Frustrating. And when the menus do show, they automatically click wherever your mouse is over. This means if im over the wrong thing, it clicks there. same goes for all menus.

System: P4 2.8, 512ram
Operating System: Windows XP Pro
Graphics Card: Intel extreme (integrated)
Works very well
-------------------------------------------
System: Celeron 2.8, 512ram
Operating System: Windows XP home SP1
Graphics Card: Radeon IGP 345m
Driver: 6.14.10.6404 (Catalyst 3.10)
quite sluggish, lowered hardware acceleration to 'disable all directdraw and direct3d accelerations, as well as all cursor and advanced drawing accelerations'.
Had to make this adjustment to make Blender workable. Before this alt text of button rollovers were extremely slow, aswell as the menus. still is unsatisfactory compared to the first spec.
