Ok...now Peggy that brings up an interesting point. Let me ask you this, lets say I go ahead and purchase a new computer and probably it would be a Pentium D or one of these new type chips. I have my old Pentium 4 operating at 2.26 GHz so would it really be compatible with the newer machine if I wanted to network them together using the Render Cow program ?

Also, and this is probably a whole seperate discussion but what about the effect of Vue 6. I mean supposedly its going to be released this summer I believe. Does anyone really know at this point what that might do or how it could change things ? Thanks so much, this has really been helpful.
