If we are buying a system from scratch, can I get the GeForce 2 card
and 3D bundle and have it work for winCoot?
I very much doubt it. If I understand it correctly this systems only
works with DirectX applications. Since (Win)Coot uses OpenGL rather than
DirectX it is unlikely to work (although there seem to be some emulators
around, but who knows what they do). Furthermore the 3D bundle requires
the application to run in full screen mode, which is currently not
available for (Win)Coot. So I guess we need to wait a bit longer and
hope that Nvidia (or whoever else) comes up with a proper quad-buffered,
OpenGL solution for LCD 3D viewing.
