Very interesting – we do alot of waiting around for 3DS to render – and even on Pentium 90's you wait. I think the only way they're going to catch up to SGI is to massively support multiprocessing, port to the power PC, mips and alpha, and make sure there are many hardware accelerator cards to increase the speed. How fast is the ELSA over a 64-bitPCI VGA card do you think? Does the ELSA accelerate HOOPS?
