We recently got some Ultra60s with both Elite-m6 and Expert3D cards in them. We're now trying out some of our Java-3D programs that use large textures (the Expert3D is the first card for the sun that may have decent texture performance for our apps). However, we are seeing a disturbing artifact

It appears that the two newest chipsets (the ATI Rage Mobility 128 and the Savage MX/Savage IX) both have decent 3D performance -- the game magazines are reviewing them and they appear pretty decent (something like >40fps on full-screen Quake3). I don't particularly trust ATI's opengl implementat
