      Taken from the Matrox Turbo GL release notes.

      //
      New Features
      ---------------
      Added support for K6 II, K6 III, Celeron and PII CPU's
      //

      As you can see, the newest version of the Turbo GL supports Celeron processors as well. As long as you are running PD 5.30.xxx and up you should try to install the Turbo GL driver. Your game performance should increase in most OpenGL games, even though the Turbo GL only supports less than a dozen so far.

      From what I know (I'm no expert), the Turbo GL driver is more of a stripped down version the OpenGL driver that Matrox supplies with your video card. OpenGL is a monster, and the Turbo GL is Matrox's way of "trimming the fat" from the OpenGL code and squeezing every ounce of performance from the G400 card.

        It looks like everything is said already ...

        Except for:

        TurboGL kicks butt on my Celery !



        and yes, the TGL is a stripped down version of the full ICD, because no actual game needs all OGL calls.
