3D News, GL, DirectX With the Open Graphics Project advancing slowly a few students picked up the idea to do it all smaller, faster, and more importantly, cheaper. From the site: "We'd love to have an OGD1 card and are amazed by it's specifications, but for us and a lot of people, this card is simply too much. So that's where this card comes in, to give you all the fun of developing on programmable hardware, designing video cards and architectures, for a price that won't hurt your wallet."

Other open source and free operating systems could potentially benefit from this as well. I would love to start seeing hardware with fully open specs and drivers so that Haiku, the *BSDs and ReactOS can really get in the game. As others have pointed out, this is not much more than proof-of-concept at this early stage, but it's a positive step towards a very bright future.
