Dave: This is getting pretty humorous. The way I read the information that was (1) 486/66 would have rendered the entire job in 4 hours (240 mins) vs the Render Garden (5) processor machine which took 39 mins. If you could have used (5) networked 486's to begin with the job would have taken 240/5 = 48 minutes. This would be a savings of ONLY 9 MINUTES which is a not so remarkable 23% faster. If you just go with 5 P60's networked you'll be leaving the Render Garden in the dust, yes? P90's would smoke its shorts off. Seeing as these numbers seem so non-incredible I have to assume I've misunderstood the whole deal. Your whale image is back on my screen in full color. My Viper card seemed to take a coincidental vacation with me last week and I've just now gotten my Windows driver set for 65K colors in 1024 x 768. It was viewing your image which alerted me to the problem and viewing your image which confirmed my fix tonight, thanks. Bob
