I decided to create another thread separate from my digitizer questions, since it's just as involved. I was unable to test the 3D performance of the GPU when I went to Costco, since there was nothing of the sort installed on the unit to stress test it (not surprising). Now, my primary use for the TabletPC, when I get one, is going to be 2D art, but I'd also like to do some 3D work on the road as well, should the opportunity present itself. I primarily work in Wings3D and Blender, which are both OpenGL apps, and I was wondering how the C3500's GPU performs in this regard. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Kazee's review should give a decent idea of graphics performance, although it's game oriented.

I have found that if your app needs any of the following:

DirectX 9+
Vertex Shader
Pixel Shader
Hardware T&L
Designed for GeForce and Radeon only

It WILL NOT run on the M741 chipset.

What does run is smooth and fluid with a good framerate, etc. but if any hardware rendering is necessary it will not work. The m741 is supposed to be DirectX8 hardware and DirectX9 software compliant, but is largely unsupported by software companies.

I expect to run Flash MX 2004 on my machine (when it eventually arrives! backordered again!) to do 2D animation.

Anybody have any experience with this program on the C3500? I'd like to hear about speeds, lag time on pen tip, replaying .swf files on the screen and whatever else you have to report. Thanks!
