Hello,
I am working on a PD/GEM application for a performance in june.   
Unfortunately, rendering (especially of textures) is quite 
slow.

Does anybody use hardware-accelerated VGA boards under
Win95, WinNT? Wich boards are best supported?


I am currently using a Voodoo Rush board
(a Procomp GM-P105, Macronix Chipset and 2 Voodoo Rush), but there is no
OpenGL driver aviable (Maybe I'm wrong? I've heard rumours about 
a beta release of Opengl32.dll by 3dFX)

So I might have to by a new board, but I want to be sure to get the right
one...

I also want to try to run PD with Voodoo Rush under Linux, but I have to
wait for a XServer wich supports Voodoo Rush. As soon as I get some
results I will report about it.

Norbert
