Vaguly remember seeing something about you can now get multi-processor AMD motherboards. Anyone using one or know of any recommendations for one? In anticipation of B5 and its new features - whatever they turn out to be. Also are there any performance monitors for Win 98SE around? Would like to see if my machine is currently maxing out the memory or the processor during rendering. I have a P2 450 with 256Mb. If you turn on the volumetric world at the lowest quality and density it dies a death (28 hours for a single frame render.)
