Dear Computationalists,

The Modeling group at Rohm and Haas wants to upgrade our RS/6000 computer 
from a model 550 to the new POWER2 RS/6000-model 590. 

But we still want to run chemical graphics codes like MacroModel and
Polygraf.

Currently the 550 uses a 'sabine' card ( 24 bit with Z buffer using
SGI's GL) However, I have heard the this graphics card is not supported
and has be replaced. Has anyone tried the *other* graphics cards?
Do they work well with any commercial codes? 

Any help you can give us would be appreciated!
