Does anyone have rendering speed comparisons with DX4s and Pentiums?

rendering with a dx4-100 and a p100 P-100 is about 3 times faster in 3d studio on chevy 3ds and many other meshes. the pentium has 2-3 times the fp performance of a 486. even a p75 will out render a dx4-100 cameron CYBERIMAGE

I have a P133 and a DX4, the video card DS-64 PCI VRAM well out performs the DRAM DS in the DX4 for redraw and under Liquid "Squid" moves at amazing speeds, but then the P133 cost far more than the DX4 so Its a measure of Cost to performance, if the you have the budget the P120+ may be a far better long term by though, LenZFX is a pain to use on the DX-4 due to its speed, but fine on a P100+ (With a fast HD!)
