are you a one reply beast or what? 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.

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.
