On my P-III 1GHz, GeForce2 GTS PC running Windows 2000, the opengl driver has a
nicer look and also higher frame rates. This is with nvidia driver 11.01.

Same here (Atlon 1.2GHz, Geforce DDR, W2k) although I have experienced
some video lockups recently and am going to switch to D3d to see if this
solves it. Have you had any lockup problems Keith?

OpenGL better than D3D?? I didn't even try OpenGL when I bought my
GFII GTS, went directly to D3D since I read a couple of times that D3D
was much better.. ok, testing time!
