I'm only rendering a single image. I'm wondering though for some reason if that specific scene maybe the props are higher polygon count or something, because I got done rendering the smaller size (2000x1600) of a different piece (this one had V4, Millennium Dragon 2, a set (I think it was Gothic ruins or something) and a fire ball and magic ball thing, plus the AO, and it rendered faster then the last one at that size (though I don't know for sure exactly how long the other one took since it was over night) but this one was in I think less then 3 hours.  Trying now in the bigger size for overnight. I don't know though because this file gave me a problem before too, so the big one might take 16 or whatever hours again.

Right now I looked I have a Core 2 Duo 2.6ghz so if I upgrade that to a quad that should make a big difference? I thought quad was much better (4 cores compared to 2) but the speeds are around 2.6 still so is that just as important? Also another dumb question, how do you know if Vista is 64 bit does it say specifically or can they all be? I was looking on some sites and only saw the ultimate I think it was in 64 bit. Though I see if I go to NewEgg they have free Windows 7 upgrades. Only problem is looks like most of the ones I have found are full windows not upgrades (I only need the upgrade) and they are OEM so you can only load it on one computer I guess? Lol I don't know. I've never even installed an OS I just know we have more than one computer we have XP for but I don't know if it came with more than one license or if we bought more than one copy or what. Other than one of them I got from college for $10 education verison I don't think you can upgrade that? I have to look.
