- If you buy a Pentium 75 for 3D stuff you will need 16megs RAM and spend around
- $2200 (and have a shitty OS).
- If you buy a Blizzard 1260 (30 MFLOPS!!!) + 8megs RAM (recommended for 3D) + a decent
- HD you spend around $1400 and (tested with LightWave 3D) you are faster than a
- Pentium 120 (and have a great OS).

- That's all (and I think that's enough :))))))))
