Re Tr3/Graphics acceleration <Snip> and I think you'll see that most gamers have 3D acceleration. I'm not sure the above is true, from what I recall 90% of systems don't have one. Also, judging by the comments on Usenet games forums(which by definition probably contains a high proportion of 'advanced' or 'power' games users), only a minority of Tomb Raider players have such. Probably a large minority, but still a minority nonetheless. And if you have a CPU that could run it ok in software, your computer is probably new enough that it has 3D acceleration standard. TR needs a 90Mhz pentium and 16M of ram. Not exactly leading edge.And I have run it succesfully on 133Mhz laptop, and multiple similar systems, all within the last 3 years,(one this year) none of which had 3d included. I would agree that many new systems will come with 3d, but I'd also guess (havent looked at the specs) that the new budget, under $1000 PC systems dont have such. I'm probably going to buy a 3d card this weekend though! Any suggestions? JoeC
