Which version of OpenGL on my PC?

How can I find the OpenGL version on my PC ?
And how to upgrade it? I'm using Compaq Evo N800v notebook with Radeon 
Mobility 7500.

On Linux, glxinfo should be preinstalled. It outputs all
the interesting information about your OpenGL.
Someone developed a Windows equivalent, called wglinfo.

For Linux you could just download the latest Mesa CVS and build the
linux-dri-x86 target. That will produce a radeon.so in the lib
subdirectory containing the latest driver.

For Windows the problem is that ATI drivers won't run on Mobility chips.
You'll have to look at third party pages where you can find modified
drivers that work on them.

just check (for windows):

as the mobility 7500 has limits, it is best to run this program to find 
out which extensions it supports.
at least it supports OpenGL 1.1 to 100%.

What about the the ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 ?
Does it also have the same limitations as 7500?

generally speaking, all mobile chipsets have limitations, e.g. due to 
the fact that they have to save power...
just use some tool as the one above and find it out ;-)
maybe there is also some additional information at ati's website.

cheers!
