Derek,

  Thanks for the suggestion. At my age I'm not much into fast action 3D so
that's not an issue. Besides, even a massive wasting on a terrain model
doesn't move that quickly. And, the 3D simulations of a particle moving down
a river system are sufficiently quick even on my current nVidia Riva 128 (or
something like that. Actually, I could probably use this card, too, but I
don't know if it's a 1.5 v version (about 7 years old it is).
