>I have heard that sometimes you need a riser extension board to clear the CPU & fan. PCI slots are going to be used up pretty fast in this system and it seems I can only find motherboards with 4, so I'm trying to find a motherboard with the Fast SCSI2 controller built in, to free up a PCI slot.< HP has a dual P90/100 mobo with FSCSI2 on-board. I don't know how many slots it has and being HP it isn't as cheap as a Dell or Gateway. >The Windows NT version of Speed Razor is apparently 3 times faster at rendering than Windows 3.11 and will likely get faster as they refine the program to take advantage of dual Pentium systems. There is some talk around about a rendering accelerator but I don't know when this will happen or whether this is hardware or software and whether it will be provided by DPS or in:sync.< A render accelerator may be nice, but it depends on what it does and how much it costs. With super fast dual/quad Pentium Pro and Alpha machines coming I don't want to buy a proprietary piece of hardware just for Speed Razor. Specialized hardware like that tends to be abandoned when newer systems have better capabilities. I plan to stick with commodity hardware whenever possible.
