  17. I have just ordered a new Pentium 90 system, and I'm trying to convince
  18. Intel that the defect could affect my rendering, if, say, I design the
  19. scene and objects on the Pentium, then transfer them to the Amiga for
  20. rendering.  That things could be different on the Amiga because of the
  21. faulty calculations done on the Pentium.
  22.  
  23. Of course, I don't really know if this is true, nor will I, until LW 4.0
  24. ships!  But I would like to know if LW does use the floating point
  25. processor and that division, and would a buggy Pentium affect it.  Is it
  26. possible?  Allen?  Stuart?  Lee?
