After sticking three years to a P3 500, I bought myself a new machine in November: P4 2,54 GHZ 512 MB DDR Ram (need more, at least 1 Gig) Board ASUS P4B533 HDD Seagate ST-38001a 80 GB ASUS GeForce 4Ti 4400 Win2000 Prof and a used 20" monitor (NEC MultiSync) PC Mark 2002 (1024*768, 32 Bit): CPU: 6226 RAM: 5325 HDD: 874 I am pretty happy with that, but instead of rendering quicker I am starting to use real volumetrics in Bryce which is a pain in rendertime. I need a new computer. ;-) Greets, Jimi
