Rawl,
Going from 68030/25mhz to 68040/25mhz only gets you a 300% improvement
(not worth the $1400 cost in my opinion). I was considering PP&S's 68040
board which was planned to have a real-time file compression function that
was going to double available hard drive capacity, but they have appeared
to drop that feature. No one even features large Static RAM caching (only
internal dual 8K caching is available). Perhaps if the features/cost ratio
improves (someday)!
As far as going out and buying a bunch of 3D rendering software, I'm not
made of money Rawl <G>! I don't have the time to figure out more than one
complicated 3D rendering program (I am already behind in reading my present
softwares documentation). I'm planning on Imagine (whether it is 1.x or
2.0 is up to Impulse) for now…
