    Laptop that runs open GL

    Hi,

    Wondering if any can give me some advice.

    I am wanting to buy a laptop that can cope happily with open GL.
    PC World (i know, I know) have advised that I need one with a 128mb dedicated graphics card, but I am wondering if that is just PC world try to make a sale. The program I want to run (Starry Night 4.5 pro) says all I need is 32mb graphics card. But I don't want to go out and buy a laptop if it isn't going to run.

    So any technical advice you can give me on this would be really helpful.

    Thanks in advance,

    Anji.

    Q. Does my graphics card support OpenGL?

    A. All professional video boards and almost all consumer video boards released since 1999 support OpenGL. You can check our manufacturer's list . If your graphics card manufacturer is not listed, you may still find that the manufacturer of your system or display card, offers OpenGL drivers on their web sites.
