Robert, Both test are using a display: with the QBICDEMO we use a Matrox Impression 1024 and for BIRDWALK, 3ds use the VGA320x200 also in the same board. We also tried the NULL display option in the BIRDWALK render BUT see no difference between results (in the Compaq 5/60M). However, we notice a sightly difference in the QBICDEMO results between the same render repeated two times (one inmediatly after the other): one more second in the second render. Regarding the last part of your message, I can't understand it very well. What's your time for QBICDEMO? 1:16 or 2:24? I think that PC makers and Intel have problems with the 66MHz version of the chip. I say that because DELL and COMPAQ refuse to send us the 66MHz versions of their respective machines. The same with HP. Any machine from IBM (they have promised us that one will arrive soon). We didn't notice any heat problems with the 60MHz versions of the chip (at last, after 48 hours of continuos running, they didn't burn out 🙂 However, some people said that the tripled clocked version of the 486 will outperform the Pentium at 60MHz and will be more cheaper. We are also waiting for the EISA AXP from DEC, although we don't have 3ds for this platform 🙁 Ana
