- Well.. if it is for Ray tracing purposes.. and money is no issue (which of course
- it is.. but with time prices will drop) then have you looked at Rembrandt or
- Vivi24...
- Rembrandt has the TI34020 with one coprocessor, a dedicated graphics
- processor which should speed your work CONSIDERABLY (especially if the shading
- algorithms support SAGE)
- Vivid comes in modules, but will allow a maximum of four co-processors
- (graphics dedicated) to be plugged in.. They both will allow resolutions of at
- least 1024x1024.. depending on Ram, etc... and they are fully programmable to
- your frequencey selections...
-
- surprisingly enough... they even claim real-time shading, which means you could
- run a not-very complex animation in real time on them... Well... look into
- them...
-
-
- Good Luck
