ok i didn't mean the speed, i meant the features. older graphic cards are just not able to do the effects my software renderer can.

if i do program 3d acceleration i want it to be OpenGL coz i think microsoft may be up to monkey business and i want to be as ready as possible to switch operating systems.

yah it's for the family. my 2 sisters like to check their email and chat on msn messenger and download music with kazaa all day long. my mum likes to check her email. she gets like 10 porn junk emails per day and sometimes she gathers the whole family around the computer and opens them to show us and we all laugh and are jolly. fun for the whole family. i like to play quake3 all day with the sound way up. thankfully my dad doesn't know how to use computers.
