Yeah... there's no specific mention... but they claim the redraw is much better... so we'll see how it works.

There was never any formal anouncement saying that vpc 7 was going to sport hardware support, it was just a rumor. A highly plausible rumor though in my opinion and wuld be suprised if it didn't have this.

Hell, if I can finally play Shadow Warrior on a mac, I'll be happy.

Wait wasn't that the Duke Nukem engine based game? Where you used a sword and threw ninja stars etc?

Let's say don't expect anything big. My gut tells me nothing significant happened as far as graphics acceleration goes. The beta tester I talked to weeks ago said there wasn't much for gamers, not that it's a bad release, in his opinion.

they did release it on mac...it came with Duke Nukem 3D ATOMIC Edition...cost me a good 10$, but it was worth it

I don't think there wasn't ever any reliable source of the rumor that VPC7 would have native video card support, and I for one am not even remotely surprised that it does not.

It still emulates the old S3 Trio. It is faster though.

Shadow Warrior is already out for the Mac. Been out. Seen it at Compusa for $2.99. No joke! (What a lamebrain...)
