>> The Pentium floating point bug does NOT affect 3DS at all, and I don't even think it's likely that anyone would ever run into it with AutoCAD within their lifetimes. Don't worry about it and get a P90. – G >> Gary, Just curious, but Stuart Ferguson (on LW prog team) has said on the INTERNET that Lightwave Windows/NT will most likely be affected by the PENTIUM error 'cause they do dblprec MATH. Just wondering the Plus/Minus of DblPrec MATH and why they (LW) use it and you guys don't? And if v5 is Windows will this make a difference for your guys at YOST? Thanks, David.
