    apparently it comes with the new version of Powerdesk. After you install it, it runs a program that detects all the games on your hard drivers that will be supported. It will show you the results of what it found.

    BTW and FWIW, I didn't uninstall the previous version of Powerdesk before installing this one, though that is the recommended path.

      Umm I didn't see anything like this when I installed powerdesk 5.41.008.. Is there some way to run this TurboGL detect program after installation? And I do not have a TurboGL option in my HalfLife video mode settings, only Default and 3dfx mini driver(don't have a voodoo so dunno where that came from but it has always been there)

        DOH I just found that TurboGL program.. PDGLUtil.exe, in the driver install source directory.. When I run it it says,
        "The Matrox TurboGL Driver doesn't support your processor type. Supported processors are: Intel Pentium III(Windows 98 is required) and AMD Athlon K7).

        So I guess I am screwed since I have an AMD K6-3D...

            For now anyway. There's talk of the TurboGL being updated for other processors, but it's not a priority at this time.
