a correction,=20
The voodoo RUSH is a chipset designed by 3DFX, it supports rendering in a
window in fact the rush chipset it used in semi professional 3d graphics,
the subset of SGI's open GL is called miniGL,=20
someone told me that the RUSH is not a pass though card, that I
cannot confirm,
thanks=20

If you reread my post I think you'll see that I said "Voodoo, voodoo
rush, and voodoo2 cards are made by 3dfx.". While quake, quake2 and
hexen are not true opengl implemetations, the term opengl is still
employed when discussing them. I mentioned in my initial post that a
subset of opengl is used. Don't blame me, blame the gaming community
and the gaming press for misusing the term opengl. The rush is not a
pass through card, it does do 3d in a window, does not use the "voodoo"
chipset, and it's 3d performance is vastly inferior to both the voodoo
and voodoo2. I have owned a voodoo card since January 1997, and
recently purchased a voodoo2, so I am familiar with the product.

ps.
I meant designed by, not made by.
