Scott, Sounds good. I'm in the process of assembling all the MAX components I can find like P6's, DEC Alphas, video boards, etc. to build high-end systems. I have the Omnicomp literature and I'll look at it again tomorrow. I'm not sure it supports the Hoops (HDI) interface which is the key for MAX. Also 8 megs of ram might not cut (hard to believe isn't? egads!) The Accel card I'm looking at has 8 megs DRAM and 8 megs VRAM. Does 1600×1200@24 bit. Now that may be extreme for Beta or SVHS (my format) and I would pick the same card with lower memory (for 1280×1024) but the card is going to be really fast (smokin'!) because of the dual video pipelines it has, OpenGL chip set for 3D and a S3 968 accel chip for 2D. I'm crying over the price but it is still better than those Nazis at Intergraph. I can get DEC Alpha motherboards with 8 chips on it for around $20k. Thats resonable. No way at Intergraph. There are some other cards out there, some not released yet, that are going to be good. We'll see. I have a question that can't seem to get answered. The Glint chip, is it a wannabe OpenGL chip? The dedicated OpenGL cards I have specs on seem to be a little better than the Glint stuff. Opinion? Talk to you soon. Mark
