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.
