You should look into the Matrox millenium its an excellent all around card
has a decent price and is one of the few cards with 3D acceleration 3D
gourad shading, texture mapping, double buffering and z-buffering.
Performance 190,000 Gouraud shaded polygons per second. Supports OpenGL,
Reality Lab, Intel 3DR and RenderWare. What does this all mean now.
Absolutely nothing, but if Newtek sees the light we could be manipulating 3D
shaded models instead of wireframes or at the very least get a shaded
preview in modeler (check out Caligari Truespace only program I know
currently supporting 3D acceleration its no match for Lightwave animation
capabilities though).
So if you want to get ahead of the software technology curve go with the
millenium and hopefully Newtek will catch up. Maybe some Newtek insiders
reading this might have some input on whether Newtek plans on supporting 3D
acceleration if your listening you should get with the program. Or better
yet hurry up and finalize 4.0 and send me my update I can't stand not having
things like macros, everyone else takes for granted.
