Just read a review in TV Technology that was talking among other things about how it doesn't take much for 3DS to have to start swapping to the HD. It said because 3DS only uses single precision math. What is he talking about here. Is this something different than any other 3D program? I think after using other programs that 3DS is fairly quick. Curious, Paul
