Hi Tim, Thanks for the info! From what I had read in other threads I thought that you had already purchased a mobo. So please disregard my previous questions. There I go thinking again! >I'm looking to get an ASUS board also. I have seen single CPU boards for around $350. You can get a dual SMP ASUS board for around $475. For another $125 you have the option of adding another CPU when you need it. If you go with 90/100MHz chips by the time 3DS MAX ships you will be able to pop in another CPU for around $200. That's a 60% performance improvement. Yes, I do see the logic in this. Why did you choose ASUS? I haven't been researching dual PP's. Do they have socket 7 for full upgradeability? How about Pipelined Caching? What sort of RAM do you like? If anyone else has any insight into the ideal computer for 3DS Max and Win NT I sure would like to hear about it.
