I want to get a new PCI Graphics card for my G3 266 MT. I'm interested in a VooDoo 5, but I hear it can't do OpenGL in a window very well. I use LightWave so this is very inportant to me. Does anyone know if later driver releases can fix this?

?RADEON?

This page:

does a quick comparison between Radeon and Voodoo5 for LightWave. It sounds like the Voodoo has lots of problems and the Radeon works really well.

Yes, but there isn't a PCI Radeon yet, so that really isn't an option for him.

But, DaveTL, I would suggest that you wait for a PCI Radeon (if it arrives any time soon). It's a superior card in most aspects.
