Mike, >>Make sure you use a Native engine for the PPC (is there one available?). It seems PPC's run regular mac software about the speed of a Mac II or slow Quadra and with no mathco support as of the latest emutator. I use a P-90 at home and Macs at work and it sure is amazing how fast Native PPC apps are being released compared to almost no Pentium optimized software. << I do have a PMac 8100 with the native version of Animation Master, I was just curious how rendering time compares to the P-90 or the Indy. Basically, I'm planning ahead for the inevitable crunch that always happens with indecisive clients. I know I'll need a "render farm" and was trying to find out if I had PMacs, Indy's and Pentiums on the same network, one — could they all be slaves to the PMac and help out rendering the same project. Thanks for the input, Jim Jonah
