I have no problem with it it's a customer of mine that has a weitek. I get faster rendering with 486DX2/66Mhz without weitek than with in R2, I have tested it on my computer. Unless there is a weitek that can handle a speed greater than 33MHz there is no reason to by it, the internal mathprocessor is faster. regards,Martin
