Veeerrrry interesting! You're not having any trouble running EDO and non-EDO RAM at the same time? Is that a Triton chipset? SCL

I believe it is a Triton chipset. No problems with both types of ram installed together. Also, the rendering times I posted were reported by 3DS at the command line. The times posted in the dialogue box were about 4 seconds faster. -Rich Barnett Animotion

Thanx! You seem to have one of the faster 120s — do know if you have an unobstructed, full-length PCI slot (for a PVR) in there? SCL

Yes. PVR = Perception Video Recorder. The reason for my question was that a lot of machines seem to have clearance problems with full-length cards. Thanx for your help. SCL

I wonder if Number Nine Motion 771. I remember one of CAD magazine had a test on rendering with different video card and #9 has the best result. As far I know, video card shouldn't have any effect on redenering speed. Does anyone read that article?
