Hi there,
A little while ago, I've seen a message around here about starting a 3DS user
group in Montreal, the msg was from a certain "John Smith" of XON/XOFF, but I
must be spelling it wrong since I can't find trace of those msgs. If anybody
knows about this, please let me know, I'm very interested in getting in touch
with this person or his group.
Thank You,

Godot….
Montreal User's group is going to start real soon now… Give
me your address and phone numbers. and I'll mail you an announcement
as soon as a date is decided. Both Richard Smith and Myself are
organizing and we are quite busy so simply sitting down and deciding
a date seems to be a chore..Should be in early dec.
Keep an eye on this forum and your mailbox…

Roger,
Vibrant Graphics is interested in increasing awareness of its Liquid Speed
software accelerator for 3D Studio. We would be happy to provide you with a
demonstration copy of the software and some literature to handout at a future
users group meeting.
Please let me know if you are interested.
Best Regards, Brian Massey Vibrant Graphics, Inc.

Absolutely.. Interested… We will be having our first meeting I hope on
December 8. This is not yet confirmed but is fast becoming the only possible
day before X-Mas. If you can send me an eval copy and documents on ordering
etc. Please do so that it arrives before this date.. Many thanks. adress is:

I'd be interested in that offer for the Boston 3DS User Group, too

Brian,
Some others on the forum feel that 50% faster redraws should be what I get. I
consistently get 35% faster in the Editor and 30% in the KF. I don't have a
real problem with this but if it could go faster I would like it to. I;ve got a
4/66 (overdrive) Micronics MB, 32MB, Diamond SS24 -That's it. The Diamond is
what's slowing me down I'll bet. Ever since I got R3 and have been using a 256
color mode for the editor things have slowed dramatically. Gary Yost say's it's
the BIOS of the SS24 and I still haven't gotten around to getting an upgrade. I
will and I'll let you know if I get any improvement over the 35% I have now.

David,
Yes, you should be getting a 50% increase in performance. However, I question
whether or not your card is the issue. If 3DS is slowed by your BIOS problem,
then LSpeed should give you 50% over that slower speed.
Are you using a VESA compatible mode? When LSpeed loads, is your speed
"throttle" in the information box all yellow, or are there some blue boxes? Do
you get slow performance in ALL modes (16 color, lower res, etc?).
The truth is, that the 3D Editor acceleration of LSpeed is more dependant on
your CPU than your graphics card. I'll forward your information to our Tech
Support group and see if we get similar results. Let me know if you have any
more information for us.
Best Regards, Brian
