Hi Chuck, Gus makes excellent points about the changes we will be seeing in the way we use 3DS in the very near future. I only want to add that, although 8-bit real-time rendering IPAS routines (like the Yost stuff, for instance) seem to work OK while the UI is in 24-bit mode, I have noticed a significant slow-down in display performance with them as compared to when the UI is in 8-bit mode. FYI, this is on a P60 with a Viper 9100/SE. Maybe other folks could comment about speed differences (if any) using other video boards. This makes the ability to change back to 8-bit mode on the fly all the more attractive. I hope it is implemented. -Alan
