Thx, Harry….. I suppose my next question is what kind of difference can I expect from 020/881 vs 030/882…although I can assume the 030 is faster… I have had ray traces take as long as a 12-hour stretch on my '000 (hehehe)…sometimes more (glass and water, combined with reflective surfaces, complex objects and multiple light sources (including filters) and I wonder (since you say "well, not phenomenal") just how FAST does your machine trace at? You have the 28Mhz 030/882, right? If the difference is from hours to minutes it's worth every penny (up to a reasonable limit), but if not I might reconsider saving some more for that 50Mhz 030…… -Scott
