More questions from a novice: Is the following statement true: "3D Studio does not (yet) fully exploit the architecture of the Pentium Chip. Accordingly, the rendering speed (for the same graphic) on a 486 DX4 100 will be better/equal (read shorter or similar) if compared to a Pentium 90" If if am setting out to purchase two rendering machines, it would make "cents" to purchase the cheaper 486 DX4 100 machine (compared to the Pentium 90 or even the Pentium 60) if I am getting the same (or slightly better) performance on the 486. I would appreciate any comment or suggestion.
