And it is rather unknown when OpenGL 2.0 really arrives. I heard from some
sources there are serious problems in the background of the consortium. So
I would rather recommend to have a look at DX9. Which is already available
in a Beta-Stadium. And I think it has many features OpenGL2.0 wants to
bring allong, too. The advantage with DX9 you can test out things at once
as functions are normally simulated in software and do not have to wait
for a card to arrive.

Well the P10 from 3dlabs looks very interesting with a total number of 200
SIMDs units. I could think the people from Saarbruecken might be very
keen on this. (As they seem to take heavy use of SIMDs on PIII/IV)
