I saw a demo from Microsoft of tmeir OpenGL test application
at some trade show about a month back. I was very surprised
by tme performance of tme graphics, my 486/75 w/20 MB RAM
just didn't compare when displaying vrml scenes. I asked
about tme machine, it was an Intergraph dual 100mz pentium w/64
MB RAM and a video accelerator card with 32MB RAM running NT 3.51.
