A more detailed description of each extension can be found at the following addresses:
ATI seems to be doing a lame job with their drivers when it comes to openGL.
Anyways, none of the missing extensions is due to hardware, because i am using a Visiontek 2400 HD PCI card, and using the 8.7 driver, i have listed ” 104 Extensions.
