Polygon problems

Here are some questions over polygons: - How many polygones could I normally set into a scene? (e.g. P3 667 MHZ / NIVIDA RIVA TNT2 32 MB) In this case only polygons, no other stuff (for speed testing). I''ve getting only 100000 polygons with 20 FPS on this system, is this normal?. - Does the graphic hardware normally supports simply one colored sold polygon drawing, and do it support line drawing (I think no)? - Which OpenGL setting have the most influence on the FPS (glEnable(GL_BLEND)...)? - In some situations the backface culling is slower as no backface culling, I think this isn''t possible (my program fooling me)? (e.g. glEnable(GL_CULL_FACE); / glCullFace(GL_BACK) In this case, is there a speed difference in clockwise or anticlockwise sorting? - Is it right that lighting (glEnable(GL_LIGHTING)) can be very slow? (Yes, I used plane normals...) - Has OpenGL an intern polygon counter which shows me how many polygons in a frame are drawn? When yes, how could I get this number? I know some of this questions may be stupid. Chris
