[Vis5d-users] RE: Quadro2 Pro anyone?

All,
  This may be a little off the subject, but keep in mind, if you didn't
already know, that nVidia is the group who bought out the 3Dfx folks.  I
have hopes they will keep up the 3Dfx drivers, specifically for the legacy
applications.

Regards,
Dan McCormick

Dear Neil,
	we use NVIDIA Geforce 2, which is supported under Linux with
hardware accelerated OpenGL and the same drivers support also Quadro2 Pro.
The GL drivers provided are not open source, so there may be problems to
install it in an old or non-standard Linux installation. The performances
are very good, but with some crashes on a 2-processor machine.
	You can get more information and see which distributions are
supported at this address:
	http://www.nvidia.com/Products/Drivers.nsf/Linux.html
		good luck and ciao,
			Davide
