Scumbria, check this out if you have the time: gamespot.com I especially liked this quote: The next generation of 3D accelerators will add a host of new features. The leading contenders will have four or more rendering pipelines (compared with two today), more rendering features, and transform and lighting acceleration. This last one is something of a Holy Grail, and a controversial one at that. This was the first time that I ever heard of hardware-based T&L acceleration as "controversial." The article then goes on to explain some reasons why game developers may or may not like it. Comments? Tenchusatsu
