I use a 1-GHz iMac with 17" flat screen. I use the OSX carbon version of Diablo2. I tried the hardware graphics-card option and didn't like it for two reasons. 1) it is much slower and "choppy" especially when multiple things are happening on screen. 2) it stretches the picture horizontally out over the wide screen instead of "letterboxing" it with black stripes on the sides.
So I run it in software mode and it's fine. The colors (256) aren't as rich and flavorful, but i'd rather have the smooth operation and speed than nicer colors. I wish I could run it in software mode with thousands of colors. I know I can use Command-M to switch to window mode and get the color settings of my finder desktop, but I do like the full screen mode.
