After 4 years, the motherboard on my PC has packed up, died, rolled down the curtain and gone to meet the choir invisible.  The rest of my machine has gone to meet its maker in a more literal sense, as he is looking for a replacement board for me.  This would be the easiest solution - an identical direct substitute.

But, being realistic, because of its age I don't fancy my chances.  So I'm faced with the prospect of a new board, which would render (forgive the pun) my current processor, RAM and graphics card useless.  I'm not made of cash, so a full on upgrade isn't really an option.  I'm taking the view that as long as the machine I end up has the same capability as my old one, I'll be happy.

However.  I remember a while back someone mentioning problems with Open GL and Wings 3D when using a 'modern' graphics card.  If anyone remembers what this was and what caused it, please let me know, as I always run Bryce using Open GL and I don't want to have to learn another modelling app so am keen to avoid this problem. 

Cheers,
Alex
