what chipset is 3DLabs VX1? might be dated.
its likely that you would be better of using a more recent part.
like an nVidia card. geForce is available at under $500, so is the 1
generation back TNT2. TNT2 is likely to be heavily discounted now that its a
rev back and may be very close in price to the 3DLabs offering and its very
likely it is superior in terms of rendering features and fill-rate. nVidia
has a rep for having fairly good OGL drivers and they have the top chipset
around with geForce.
also worth considering, in no particular order of goodness:ATI Rage128,
Matrox G400, 3DFX Voodoo3, and the latest S3 part ( Savage2000 I think ).
these would depend on the state of their OGL driver before they could be
recommended to fit the below request.

I've been impressed with the 3DLabs VX1 for about $200 all told.
I'll be more impressed when they get their drivers working better
with Java3D (probably very soon).
