I have a SGI Visualization workstation at home that runs Win2K but has no support for DirectX, I know the earlier quake engine games are OpenGL compliant but what other games are? The specs on the machine are godlike... for 1998 but I'm certain it won't run anything from the last couple of years very well. It's a Quad PIII Xeon with a gig of unified system/video memory and a proprietary SGI 3d graphics chipset.

Slick. I used to have an old SGI Indy 2. I'd love to get another.

I know nothing of running Win2K but no a bunch of IRIX and Linux games that would run nicely on it.

Getting Linux on this particular model is a chore. I can't just boot off a disk and load it, you have to flash the proper bootloader first and then there are features that just do not work under *NIX. It's designed to run 2K and unable to run XP.

It's been a long ass time but weren't there OpenGL wrappers you could download to use on noncompliant games?

I think only if the developer or another nerd created one for the game.

The Counter-Strike series uses OpenGL and 3D.
