Well, it depends. If you want to have hardware-accelerated OpenGL _now_,
you should consider a card based on the 3dfx Voodoo, Voodoo2 or Voodoo
Rush chipset. We are indeed working on OpenGL based on the Permedia2
chipset (which is used on the Gloria Synergy), but it is not usable for
productive use yet.

Not that I know of.

Metrolink also announced Hardware-OpenGL. See http://www.metrolink.com for
