Re: [Algorithms] OpenGL LockArrayEXT ... workaround

I believe that this limit was DMA related, rather than index addressing
related.
I am also under the impression that this limitation is no longer in effect
if using the
latest drivers (and perhaps DX8) ... and yes, the document should be updated
:)

I could be wrong, though ... search DirectX list archives for confirmation
(I think Richard Huddy from nVidia mentioned the fix).
