/* nextstep, etc… don't run 3DS!!!!! So don't tell people that Dual pentiums
will run 3DS any faster than one pentium!!!!!!!!! */
But Todd, 2 computers (even independently generating 1/2 of the total animation
generate the final in 1/2 the time. "Fast" is a relative term. I know several
consultants that will recommend … say… 5 386's over a single pentium. For
one thing you can now do modeling on one station whist the other two crank, and
for two, there is an analogy for multitasking when independent systems can be
used to generate a final result much like an OS chip combo can do so on a
single workstation. I am not a computer scientist, I'm a user, and a cut my
rendering times in 1/2 by using multiple stations. 🙂 -dave
