I have the same problem with a new system (money)! I have a 386/25 w/80387 math coprocessor, 8Meg – running on a IMB PS2/80. Last week I installed a Cyrix 486/50. It gave me a 25% increase in rendering speed using 3DSR2. The initial rendering speed on my 386 did not seem very fast to begin with. I might go with their math co-processor also. I just installed 3DSR3 tonight. I'm going to try and compare rendering times between R3 and R2 in the next few days – I'll let you know how it turns out.
