>>Any forum members with Gateways wish to add any additional comments? Sure; I can honestly say it's never happened to me, and that's w/some of my scenes that include skinned objects dumping 300,000 to 500,000 polys to the renderer, or in scene where I exceded 300,000 faces in addition to having skinned objects (as an example, the grass by itself on my first complete dragon picture was 320,000 odd polys, not counting the dragon, and it took under ten minutes at 600*800). As a guess based on what others have posted here, maybe somewhere in the autoexec.bat/config.sys lies the POWER.EXE that others have said slowed them down. Perhaps he could try it w/the 'Jonas minimum recomended boot' (you know, the 'files/buffer/path/mouse' autoexec.bat and config.sys) and seeing if that speeds things up and work from there. If he's swapping, that's another story (my P90 has 64 megs). John Stetzer JWS
