>> Terry,
In your early opinion would it be better to think about a Dual Pentium upgrade
or the GLINT hardware graphics card. If the software is really fast then maybe
the Dual processor would be better a route because of the increased
multi-tasking for Dual-aware programs. What are your thoughts having seen it
running live. Pentium prices are really falling fast. It's right around $500
for a 90Mhz Mama board which is less than HALF what I paid last summer!! Duals
will drop also as they are feed into the marketplace. GLINT Cards may stay
high for quite a while…….

David,
I haven't had actual hands on experience, so I can't speak with much authority
on this. Perhaps Jonas, Jack, or Gary have opinions on this. My feeling is
that you should at least get a dual pentium motherboard so that you can the
second processor when you can use/afford it. Then you can work on getting a
GLint board. The GLint boards will speed up previews. A dual pentium system
will speed up everything. Of course, don't forget to budget for lots of RAM,
too.
