There already are 3d printers.

There are a few cards that only support 3D acceleration if you upgrade the drivers. In my experience, however, the vast majority either do support it out of the box, or don't support it at all.
You can try. I'm warning you now that it probably won't work, though. | |

Yes, I knew about that. Yes, your response was entirely predictable. Yes, you may be quiet now. ;-) Aha, so they'll figure it out, and then discover time travel based on it, which allows you to come back in time and make this post! All that's left to figure out is... what have you done with the present-time Crispy? :) | |
I never said they have/will/whatever figure(d) it out. Your introduction of time travel into this conversation is entirely random, sir! =P
On a related note... would you like an instant of time as a present? | |

A 2 megabyte card most likely does not support direct3D. I have a 16 megabyte card, and it only supports up to direct3D 8(with 3rd party drivers). Your not going to get that card to support direct3D, give it up and get a new computer.

Your not going to get that card to support direct3D, give it up and get a new computer. Really?, How can you tell how many megabytes a card has?.
