Hi all,

I just tested Lightwave 4.0 Pre Release on a Intergraph ISMP6 machine,
a multiple CPU 4 x 100mhz Pentium with 256mb Ram,onnected to a 48Gb Raid-7
hard disk array, using ST15150 4Gb Av Seagate Barracudda`s.  If only I could
take this home <sigh!> ;)

I wondered how Allen will implement multi-threading for multiple cpu`s under
Windows NT, the easiest method I can think of, is uses Lightwave Segments
option, where lightwave will render each segment on a seperate cpu.

So with a 4 pentium machine I could:

a) set lightwave to render using 4 segments, each one on a seperate processor

b) set lightwave to render using 3 segments, utilizing 3 Pentium processors,
   and running Modeler from the 4th.

I also tested Lightwave 4.0 on my 486/66 at home, it actually rendered
faster than my Warp040-40mhz Amiga!  sheesh! and I was going to sell it
for a pentium, because I thought it was too slow, and out-dated.

I still have a A4000/040-25mhz, I don`t use anymore now. way to slow for me.
