>>What about direct 3d any support there?


I heard that 3dfx - and probably some of the companies like creative and
stuff - are trying to develop a set of drivers which allow opengl on voodoo
based systems, by converting opengl commands to direct3d. I don't know if
they are going to be fast enough, or offer all the features needed, but this
may just give you the performance needed.

I know Voodoo is going to be supported anyway, but I'm just saying that if
they can do it, and other non-gl cards have the necessary features, it can
probably be done for other cards too.
