John, I had a feeling you'd jump on me for my response <g>. With all due respect, you are the only person I know who has a MAX and supports it (other than Matrox dealers, naturally) and that's easy to do when you probably didn't have to pay for it – which is fine since you are reviewing it (I don't have a problem with that). However, that leaves no unbiased person spending their own money who seems to like it – what gives? Why aren't the huddled masses throwing their money at Matrox for a MAX? Why are they instead flocking to DPS? <G> My point is the PAR is just great value for money and is going to prove unbeatable because of that. Just like 3d Studio in a way – breaking the backs of it's competitors <g>. I will continue to only _ever_ recommend people even consider the MAX if they already have a Illuminator Pro and even then it may cost them more for a comparable setup. >> The MAX gets roughly 25% more throughput with one HD, and the quality is spectacular. << I'd like you to quantify that statement, because it sounds unlikely. The hardrive is what supplies the throughput so you might be referring to a new type of high throughput drive. What model? Martin
