- Anybody know how this design difference would affect rendering? I have read a
- little about this new chipset, and I got the impression that the benefit would
- be primarily in running a GUI. Running a GUI faster shouldn't necessarily
- mean faster renderings does it? Faster interface response is always good, but
- I don't see it as an overriding factor. For me the main question is: does it
- render faster? If this chipset does, then the wait may be worthwhile.
- Otherwise . . .
