Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 takes advantage of GPU

Who would have thought that something as humble as a Web browser will one day harness the power of your computer’s dedicated graphics card? That is happening to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 9, where it will make full use of the power of the GPU when it comes to page rendering, where developers are able to exploit this using CSS, DHTML and Javascript. There will be a new Javascript engine incorporated into Internet Explorer 9 with greater interoperability and standards support all round. Does this mean you will need to equip your machine with a couple of graphics processing units? No, a basic video card ought to do the trick.
