I didn't say it wasn't a valid question. I said it doesn't have an answer yet.

You make me wonder why I bothered to volunteer the information I provided in
the first place.

Yes, questions and discusion about *using* LW. But lately, there have been quite
a few repeated questions (regarding a product that isn't shipping) that just
don't have an answer yet. And some people seem to be unwilling to accept that.

I'd venture to say thats not really true at the moment. It will become much
more important in the future though.

Give it a rest.

Keep in mind that your DOS/Windows experience with any given board may have
little bearing on its performance with LW and Modeler. This was half the point
of my post. What *will* be relevant is the data collected by Allen, Stuart, and
the rest of us beta testers. When that data is compiled, you will have your
answer. And then that answer will change soon after when OpenGL support is added.
