what do you think the lowest price i could get for a computer to run opengl 1.5 at decent speeds and not be bottlenecked in other areas? (Would mainly use for coding and testing)

I'm not sure how to tell if a card/prebuilt supports OGL 1.5 - everything only advertises Direct X support these days. The cheapest dell desktop is $600 ($500 after $100 in rebates), but who knows what their crappy onboard supports? If you already have all the input/output devices, you can probably get a setup for about the same price as the dell if you need processors, motherboard, memory, graphics card, and OS.

I just built a computer that can handle OGL 2.0 without a problem for ~600 (well, 650 with shipping)...
