Hello Greg, Well, you are right. My test was unfair. I rendered the oldcity mesh on R2, phong and high, and got it in at 2:34. In R3, phong and AA on, it was 1:49. You're right, I'm sorry. I don't know why I panicked yesterday – I think I mismatched my settings during the tests. Oops… One weird thing, though. The screen redraw in R2 is less than 5 seconds, where as in R3 it's 30-35 seconds. I'm using a Diamond Viper VLB graphics card, 800×600 with 256 colors. In r2 it was set up with RCPADI whereas in R3 it's setup as a Vibrant compantible board, using the Diamond Viper P9000, or something. I think that's where my troubles started, because factoring in the screen redraw, the rendering times are about the same. Any ideas?… James
