HELP: GPL, openGL, i740

Hello. Anyone running this combination? I don't actually own the game
yet, but I'm not gonna get it until I have some confirmation that it
will work with these components. If this is you, would you kindly tell
me the driver versions you're running and any problems/solutions which
you encountered? Thanks a lot...

It will work, LOL, at 2-3 fps even if you have a PIII 500. GPL only runs
good on 3dfx or rendition cards.

The OpenGL version runs okay on a TNT, once you jump through the
appropriate hoops.  (1. Get the right drivers.  2. Turn down mirror
refresh rate.)  Dunno about the i740.  

If big downloads don't bother you too much, give the latest demo a
try.  (I don't know if they added OpenGL to it, but that'll at
least let you know if the software rendering is okay for you.)  Or
(if you're in the US) buy the game at a reputable store like EBX or
Software Etc., which will let you return it if it doesn't work
decently on your system.  (Remember, friends don't let friends
shop at Best Buy.)
