>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.< Interesting, I have been hearing the NT 32 bit predictions from DPS/in:sync but the counter to those are the bench marks done my PC Magazine in this months issue. NT running 32 bit apps from Microsoft (Word and Excel) ran slower than the 16 bit apps on 3.11! NT required much more memory to come even close. The authors suggest that the security overhead for protected memory causes the disparity. I hope that in:sync is more sucessful than Microsoft in exploiting NT. Steve
