I'm running a Dell 800mhz PIII w/ 512M RAM, Win2000, two NVIDIA GeForce2MX cards (an
ASUS 7100 AGP card plus an eVGA e-GeForce2 MX TwinView Plus PCI card), OpenGL and
Java3D 1.2.1 Beta 2 (OpenGL Version). All works well. Both video cards appear to
run Java3D accelerated. It even appears to run properly when the application window
spans between the two displays. I'm running beta versions of the NVIDIA Detonator
driver on both cards (version 6.50, 12/04/2000).
BTW, I was pleasantly surprised with the performance of the PCI GeForce2MX card.

Subject: [JAVA3D] New Computer
I now have "in transit" one Dell computer. Having worked with Java3D on an R&D
project for about 8 months and OpenGL since before it was Open, I decided to buy
a really "hot" machine for use at home. I bought the 1.4GHz machine, added 128
MB of memory and upgraded to the 64MB graphics engine. Good so far. Then I
decided on the Windows 2000 upgrade. Was that a mistake? I've been reading my
900 page book on Windows 2000 and things don't necessarily look so good. Will
Bill G. force me to use the DirectX version of the J3D API? I love the Java
programming model and J3D, but I still need OpenGL for work and really complex
graphics. I want both until J3D gets better documented and more robust.
Anyway, can anyone let me know if there are any Java/J3D/OpenGL showstoppers
with what I have purchased. (Now he asks!)
Thanks,
Norm
