trueSpace2 will be accelerated by any card for which there is a 3DR driver available (including Glint chips). This includes the Impression Plus and to our knowledge will also include the Millenium (couldn't hurt to check with Matrox though to get a date for the availablity of the driver). I think the Millenium support textures, but not in hardware. This sounds strange, but what I have heard is that you will see textures, but that they will be processed by trueSpace2 directly on the CPU. There are many shades of gray of texture support. The Glint SX does some, but the TX will have full support. I guess in the end it comes down to how the actual apps work. There are also DCI cards from Diamond (Viper Pro Video) and STB that speed up trueSpace2 solid mode significantly without the special 3D chips.
