Elmer,

All of Intel's transform and lighting demos will have to go into the trash can.

Elmer,

Transform and lighting are two of the major steps in the 3D graphics pipeline. Due to their mathematically intensive and highly repetitive nature they are ideally suited to dedicate, application-specific hardware like NVIDIA's graphics processors.

In other words, don't try to do lighting and transformation calculations on a general purpose processor. ;^))
