acid3:
chrome 5 100/100
opera 10.61 100/100
firefox 3.6.8: 94/100
ie8: 20/100
and firefox and ie *still* don't manage to do that today... (i'll wait for the final versions of both and update the table later or so)
i'm running a c2quad q6600 at stock 2.4GHz with 4gb ram and a gf 8800gt - i keep testing chrome, opera, firefox and ie on html5test.com, acid3, v8 and sunspider 9 - all the results - if you're interested - can be found here: www.keksfabrik.eu/browsers (plain text)
