I'm sitting here totally stunned -- everything is easily twice as fast -- and I'm still underpowered on only 384 RAM. My anim test rocked! P4/PP was never as fast. I don't know what they did, but I sure as heck no I love it! I'm doing a full on wind force, reflection, hair, and cloth test anim now -- 250 frames (I got brave, lol). It'll take a few hours, but boy I'll bet if rocks! lol

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
