I admit many of your hints are useful but what do you suggest people who want hardware opengl use? if you can create, i.e design and build, a card with comparable (3D) performance to my nvidia pci-e 6600le sli, write open source drivers, for around 30 euro, i.e the price i payed for my nvidia, i'd be very happy to buy one from you, as would the rest of us. Otherwise i'll stick with my nvidia. Loki p.s yes, i make music and play red orchestra on the same machine, i'm sorry i'm a bad person. My only other computer a 650 p3 isn't really up to either task.
