Imagine 2.0 has been optimized for the '040 for over a year now! My test machines are a '040/28 Mhz with 18 megs of RAM and a 486/33 with 16 megs of RAM. From what I understand (and I'm not a techie, so forgive me if I'm mistaken) the PC's architecture allows a single program to run more efficiently. Even though you may not be multitasking on your Amiga, the computer is always polling every device to make sure you haven't inserted a disk in a drive or performed another task which requires attention. Thus the Amiga's strength becomes a weakness when it comes to pure performance. Reading the above, I know I'm in for a lambasting from a lot of you! Please, if I'm mistaken set me straight. However, before sending off a flame, remem- ber that I am working with real world objects in real world products. Imagine PC is up to three times faster than Imagine for the Amiga when raytracing the same scene. 3D STudio is much faster than anything on the Amiga. Go figure. –Rick Rodriguez, VRS Media
