Brandon, please don't drop the support of the fixed pipeline. If you use the graph API that heavily relies on shaders, it won't work on machines with bad or no shader support. I remind you that lots of cheap Intel graphics chips have low performance when using PBO and / or shaders and unfortunately lots of consumers have such chips on their laptops.
