My machines won't even come close to running that "Box of Smoke" demo. You'd think that a program from those high-powered programmers at nVidia would at least exit cleanly if it encountered a system without the required hardware, but in fact it crashes. Makes me wonder what chance a borderline-senile, untrained software author has.
I've ordered a GeForce FX 5200, one of the few PCI cards with Pixel Shaders. Should be here on Monday.
