All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.
Looks like all the major players, AMD/ATI, Intel and now VIA have released technical specifications.. I remember a few years ago the situation was simple: "No acceleration!" but clearly times have changed and I'm looking forward to seeing hobby OS's being able to offer a decent end-user experience on workstations.

Sure - now that VIA have released a register reference guide (which doesn't include any other information, unlike Intel's guides) I'll have completely stable device drivers (including full support for 3D acceleration, anti-aliasing, fog, etc; and a "shader language" compiler) ready to release next week...
Cheers,

For all things; perfection is, and will always remain, impossible to achieve in practice. However; by striving for perfection we create things that are as perfect as practically possible. Let the pursuit of perfection be our guide.
