If so, where can I find it? I just downloaded the 140mb DX8 SDK, I hope the openGL one isn''t as big

You don''t need an OpenGL SDK to build OpenGL projects. Your compiler should ship with all the header files/libs needed.

You might want to download "glext.h" if you plan on using any extensions. The file can be found somewhere on www.sgi.com

although I can recommand you to use the OpenGL SDK (well it really isn''t a complete SDK)... just visit http://nehe.gamedev.net/ there are lots of good tuts for OpenGL there

Those are probably the NVidia OpenGL SDK''s, they aren''t official SDK''s (I''ve never downloaded them though, so I''m not sure what they have in them). But, like everyone has said, you don''t need an SDK to use OpenGL.
