Yes, but I always use GR lighting....I've been using high settings for a long time, and am not surprised when I do a final render at User settings that takes two days....but my latest attempts render so slow that after 2 days its only at 72%, and when I let it render for 4 or 5 more hours it doesn't change....and these last attempts are using Ultra, so I can't even imagine what it would be like if I changed it to User settings.....thanks for the reply, though!....I think the ultimate thing is to get a new computer once I have the money.....
