- What does it have to do with anything? My single processor, bargain
- basement P100 will render 10x faster than an A4000/040, for less
- money, and includes TRUE 24 bit output and a CD ROM as well (not to
- mention gobs more storage space). NOBODY serious about 3D renders on
- an Amiga anymore. Sure, I keep my A3000 because of all the great 3D
- tools which simply aren't available on any other platform, but I sure
- as heck don't render on it.
