Hopefully it will be an improvement over their previous pseudo "3D"
laptop chipsets. Unfortunately that press release indicates 8 MB of
memory.  We are rapidly approaching desktop machines commonly having 32
MB or more of video memory.  And for the work we are doing with lots of
textures that memory is gobbled up VERY fast.  I'm hoping NVidia can get
a laptop version of the GeForce chipset available in laptops soon.
Otherwise it looks like we are stuck using the DirectX version of Java
3D on laptops for now.
