The Inspiron is a great machine until you try and use OGL. Then it sucks.
J3D runs well under DirectX 7 on my Inspiron, but it sometimes starts
displaying hidden textures (eg. something which is just around the corner
pops into view through a wall). This could just be on my machine though as
I've ripped the drivers to shreds so many times it really needs a clean
install.
