I ran 3D Studio on a 2meg VRAM W9000 Viper. I thought it was great….
until I got a 2meg VRAM Stealth 64. If you want "Raw Power" then you
should get the latest technology you can afford. Things change so
rapidly in the computer universe that something that was "King of the
mountain" 2 years ago, is now entry level. The Diamond Viper P9000
served me well but it is yesterdays technology. (You can now get a 3
– 4 year old , top of the line, Silicone Graphics computer for 10 -20
% of the original selling price, that does not make it a great
bargain. If Raw power is really what you're after, the go for broke
(even it breaks you <g> )
