>> 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. << 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.
