- 3D wise? Not as much as you would like. The Matrox does come with OpenGL
- drivers, but it doesn't have the GLINT chip set. GLINT based cards are
- significantly faster (and more expensive) than the Matrox. The Matrox does
- have very good 2D acceleration, however. I hear a cheaper option than the
- GLINT boards will soon be available with nearly the same performance.
- Anybody know anything about this? or am I just nuts...

- If LW 5.0 is 100% OpenGL compliant like it is rumoured to be then yes.
