Ok, for all you d2 fans out there who have been waiting for 1.10, there is a beta of it out now for the mac.

From my experience (just recently tried it) it fixed all the performance issues that I had with my machine. Finally I can play this game with hardware acceleration turned on.
I haven't played it long enough to see what changes/updates they have done to the monsters and players spells, just long enough to fill up the screen with several monsters. Before this would result in choppy play, but no more.
My setup: MDD dual 1Ghz, GeForce4 Ti, 1.25 GB ram
