I'm having to re-spec my system, because i want to make sure that I'll be able to run SolidWorks, to its full capability.
I know that we've discussed this before...
Here's the compatibility chart, from SolidWorks:

So I'm looking at the VP560 card, here:
http://www.3dlabs.com/product/wildcatvp/index.htm
... just because I need a sub $200 card. The next step up is a VP 760, at ~$240 (which is still an acceptable choice for me)
So according to the SW chart, I'll have "RealView™" and "multi-head hardware accelerated" like this:
VP560, only under Win XP
VP760, only under Win 2k
(at least as far as I can figure; the page is kinda cryptic)
The VP880 card would give me both features under either OS, but the darn thing costs $330, and that's out.
I just need to check my version of SW and decide which OS I'll be using.
More later.
