Hi Well one more thing, personally I think it is quite stupid to buy really the latest top-notch card if you're only thinking about doing Java3D. The top-notch cards mostly have functions which are not available to Java3D yet (and will likely not before the end of 2003). These cards really show their power when using these things (of course the pure pixel/triangle setup power has also been increased but are not that important compared to the new features. If you want raw triangle power you go better off by taking a CAD [like Wildcards or the cad-lines from Nvidia and ATI]). For Java3D a last generation card like the ATI R8500, Geforce3ti500 or by all means Geforce4ti4200 are more you can wish for and can already be bought for a very cheap price like say 100 bugs or even below
