- It really doesn't matter which CPU you are using, the original source
- code for lightwave was probably written in C, so essentially it
- could have been compiled on anything. For all we know, babylon 5 could
- have been modeled on the Amiga's and rendered on a set of
- sparcstations.
-
- Another thing, did you hear that The Intel Pentinum will be released
- in this quarter? Ya, and it has 3 million transistors (3 times more
- than the 68040) and runs at 100 Mhz. Any PC with a ZIF socket for the
- CPU will be able to be expanded to the Pentinum. Times like these
- when I wish Amiga had been based on a Intel chip.
