Times change dude, now GL Quake is supported on TNT2/Matrox G200/G400,
i740 and of course, miniGL support for Voodoo chipsets. If u dont
believe me, head over to www.opengl.org and read the hard facts!!!
And did u know that Quake3 Arena, by default comes with multihead OpenGL
support for Matrox G400???
Anand Singh Bisen is playing Quake 3 Arena on his TNT2 card with OpenGL
