   Dunno about that. I'd like to see everyone jump on the D3D bandwagon and make it all it
can/should be. All this 'this card for this and that card for that' nonsense is VERY old
already. So is all this add on card stuff. I want to be able to buy a combo card that runs
the lot well!
    Now, time for a little paranoia? :) Maybe Papy released GPL with Rendition/3DFX only
because Rendition/3DFX paid them too. Now, where's my shotgun!?
