Yes, for graphics work, the Mac has been ahead of the IBM clones. The Amega was a rocking system in it's day though too. Now.. before all the IBM guys start to flame me.. I'm one of you. Just admitting the truth. Mac's have always handled graphics a little better. But that is changing, if you have the bucks to slam into $1200 video cards, Multi-processors & OS's that support them, etc. That said.. I agree, if you can build the objects, then show them as outlines, or boxes, this will allow you to place them in the scene without a lot of the system choaking you're going through now. And.. if you can shell out a few bucks.. RAM, RAM and more RAM. I have 256 megs in my system, but after around 1 mill pollys (on a PIII 600), well, it reminds me of my 286 10mhz system. laughs
