Hello, >If Matrox ever decides to, could they (theoretically) write a driver for 3DS >that will let it take advantage of the MGA's 3d chips during rendering? How No, as far as I know. I am affraid, that it is not possible to use the 3d chip for acceleration of the 3DS renderer. But you can use MGA chip for the fast Gouraud shaded realtime preview inside the 3D editor. The preview is implemented as a PXP IPAS module. PavelK
