Hello all of you seem to be interested in Graphics card. I have a simple
question. Which one of the Chips, Pentium Intel III, Latest AMD chips or
Cyrix etc are the best buy for a graphics oriented application.
Has any body used the Operating System BeOS which is for Multimedia. Will
using such an OS give certain enhancements in speed for Java3D.
Thanks in advance.
Adios
