Yeek!  Installed...started a render of "Sprucedale" - the one with the trail beside the water... I found the cameras that Howie set (from your help)....and so am asking it to do a landscape, 2600X2000 at 72 dpi and BEST aa... and yes I CAN tell the difference, and especially if I want to enlarge the scene further in photoshop, Best AA is...well.. best for that! LOL! 

My first shock of surprise came when the render "squares" ...uh... WERN'T! I mean it's so fast, over sky, it just did it with NO squares! wow! Then when I could open my email FAST... and now COMING HERE to let you know of my excitement, IE opened up fast...I guess that is because it's 64 bit, huh?!  wow more!

It says start was at 6:30 pm and est. end is 9 pm (of course it has not hit the water yet- and wanting my water very SMOOTH is another reason for Best AA) and so it may be longer than 9... I am recooperating from a fall, so gonna just go veg out with TV and pray I don't come back to it hours later to read "an error has occured".... I have been so burned even with a 32 bit Carrara on my old 32 bit machine, I will beleive it when I see it...

But this is really exciting!! Hope springs eternal! LOL!
