    Shuttle PC and OpenGL graphics

    Hello,

    Looking around for a relativly cheap solution in order to save some space normal PC can take I have run to this

    http://eu.shuttle.com/en/DesktopDefa...70_read-14416/

    This is coming with the Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950 (GMA950) as an onboard video card. Accrding to a search I have made it supports Open GL* 1.4.

    So my question do you beleive that PM software can run without ant problems on this PC? I am interested about PFD/ND and upper/lower eicas.

    System

    Chris,

    I took a quick look at the Spec's and there not to bad,


    One thing, look at was the memory speed its maxed at 667.

    I looked at -
    http://eu.shuttle.com/DesktopDefault...70_read-14399/

    This system has 800 mhz memory support and quad core cpu and a PCI-E 16 slot for gpu upgrades.

    Msrp for these: http://eu.shuttle.com/en/Portaldata/...ist_greece.pdf
    SD30G2 233 €
    SG31G2 270 €
    SG31G5 300 €

    This would give longer use of the system.

    Hi,
    I ran PM PFD/ND on a celeron 2,66Ghz and onboard video (intel extreme graphics 2)
    and this was ok unless I added an overlay of waypoints where many waypoints werre shown
    then the framerate dropped to about 6 frames/s
    Recently i changed that PC to a P4-3Ghz with a proper graphics card and the framerate went up to 30-40 frames/s with the overlay.
    So I dont know about the onboard video ....
