Everyone should use N32 where possible.

If you have requirements for huge addressable system memory >2Gb
then N64 is usefull.

On RE2 IrisGL should be prefferred but to retain portability
avoid calling the GL directly, use performer routines for windowing
and use geosets etc, even for low level GFX stuff.

Use OpenGL on all other platforms.
