Michael, A month ago or so you offered to render some test files on your P90, if you could be so kind as to render the clam.cho file that comes with A:M, and let me know the timings, that would help me alot! Since everyone has this file, it is really the only fair way to compare. I have timings on my PMac, my Compudyne 486 and a compaq 486. Comparing to a P90 would help me with my next purchase decision! You can stop the rendering after it gives you a time for frame 1. If you could render at 640 x 480 w/photo and anti-alias I have timings for five possible combinations: 1. Windows at 640 x 480, photo, anti-alias 2. Windows at 640 x 480, photo, motion blur (which is 16-pass) 3. DOS render24 at 640 x 480, photo, anti-alias 4. DOS render24 at 640 x 480, photo, motion blur (-a1) 5. DOS render24 at 640 x 480, photo, motion blur (-a3) All of these were saved as 24-bit targa and not showing the screen. My timings are: Compaq 486 Anti-alias Mblur (-a1) Mblur (-a3) windows 4:22 9:07 n/a DOS 3:29 8:06 15:48 Compudyne486 Windows 5:25 15:04 n/a DOS skipped these (lazy) PowerMac 8100/80 2:19 7:20 10:33 Thanks alot for your time and effort!
