>>I've heard a little about your latest PowerMac >>clones. Any chance of offering up a more >>deatiled spec. list ? The latest product sheets can be found in our software library here on CompuServe (MACAVEN, Section 6, Software Library). You can also get more info by calling our FaxBack system at 404-967-2077 and requesting documents #5001, #6049, #6050, #9023, #9024, #9025, and #9027. >>I'm currently running a PowerMac 7100 network >>each with 40 Mb RAM. It's still not enough !!! >>Even with distributed rendering, a reasonable >>image can take 4 of 5 days to render. Will the >>multi-processor system from DayStar give anything >>extra that I don't already have ? Instead of distributing over a network, you will be able to distribute across the CPUs in one box. These will include either 2 or 4 PowerPC 604s running at 120 MHz. Of course, your software will have to conform to our SMP API, so you might want to check with your software vendor for multi-processing capabilites in future revisions. We publish the API so that software vendors can work their software to efficiently run on multiple processors under the MacOS. >>Any idea of a UK launch date ?, Cost ? Our Genesis MP is due in late summer, and final costs have not been finalized. It is speculated that the cost will be between $5,000-$10,000, depending upon configuration. Hope that this helps and thanks for your interest in DayStar products. Bill Waits DayStar Digital
