- No, but according to the "what's new on this server" section of the
- www.digital.com the AlphaStation 250 4/266 uses the Alpha 21064A
-
- They also listed the following Graphics options:
- DEC864 entry level 2D (Windows NT only)
- ZLXp-E1 8 plane 2D and 3D
- ZLXp-E2 24 plane true color 2D
- ZLXp-E3 24 plane, Zbuffer entry 3D vectors
-
-
- I heard that LW4.0 doesn't support OpenGL yet, but will it run at all on
- the
- ZLXp-E3 card????

- Yes, I agree based on the data DEC published for various applications.
- I'm hoping the folks who were discussing it will be able to follow through
- in spite of the noise level on here.
