When buying the machine, we were given the impression that there would be a
software implementation of Z-buffering.  We were told that it would be much
slower than the hardware, but that your application code would be the same,
independent of you running the hardware or software z-buffering.  Is
there any truth to this??


Thanks,
Pablo
