Am researching software which will feedback scenery synchronized to my indoor trainer.

The cheapest seems to be CycleFX, under $150, will connect with any trainer you already have. Its 3D rendered, so a good display card is probably in order.

So here's my question: Imagic, Computrainter, and RealAxiom all use 2D DVD movies, is that right? So with these three, it matters not if I have a typical laptop with lots of RAM, up to date dual core Intel cpu, 7200 rpm disk drive, but with a non replaceable ridiculously poor vid card? 'Cause nothing will be in 3D, right? Or am I all wrong here ) ?
