GPL Hardware question

Today,

I ordered a new PC with a 366MHZ Celeron which is overclocked to
550MHZ.  It also has the Diamond Viper 770 TNT-2 16Mb  AGP Video Card.
Any thoughts on how GPL will run on this new box?

Thanks,

Jeff Lipack

It will still have that annoying Mirror refresh problem that all TNT cards
have. It will have a choppier framerate using the Incar view, but there is a
way to turn down the mirror refresh if it gets too annoying for you.

I've seen a few complaints that the Open GL patch just didn't work with a
TNT2 so I don't think it's a sure thing.
