I have a couple (4) 60MHz pentiums and they scream compared to my 66MHz 486's.
I really wisy 3DS were written for the MAC. From what I learned yesterday, the
64 bit addressing on my new Power PC gives it about 22 times faster throughput
in calculations that a 90MHz Pentuim. Of course, this data comes from a MAC guy
so you know how that goes. But with my new 2D animation system, I can get 30FPS
in 32 bit color at 640×486 (differential animation of course, not full frame)
but with lots of screen changes. In fact, in may cases it can keep up with 60
fields/sec in full color/full res. Wish the PC could do this! BTW, another nice
thing about the mac is if I want a video tape, I just plug a CR into the back
and record real-time in fairly high quality. Not adequate for professional
release, but great for pencil test.
