I would like some advice on hardware. I am in a position to purchase two p100 machines to network to my existing 4/66. I realize that it is also possible to get an SGI Indy w/ 3ds renderer for close to the same price. does anyone out there care to comment as to the better approach? much appreciation!

Garry, >> I am in a position to purchase two p100 machines to network to my existing 4/66.

You'll get far more power for your money. We may get the SGI renderer here at MetroLight, but it's of use only if you can work around the lack of IPAS support.
