Well, this is going to require some thought, then. I'm looking to start a
new division within the company, to do 3D graphics. However, they're not going
to want to spend a couple hundred thou on new equipment.
I can get one or two really good PCs, and run R4, leveraging the rest of
the company's PCs as render stations at night.
Or, I can get one or two really good NT boxes, at higher cost, and do ALL
of the rendering on them.
I was very much looking forward to running MAX on NT, since I already have
experience with NT, and have been impressed with it.
However, it looks like I'd be cutting my own throat if I go that way.
