i think i'm in the no-problem camp. i have had SOME problems, but i think they are due to a shortage of memory out here. custom built: a-bit bx-6 rev2 motherboard celeron 466 cpu 196 (now 256) meg ram elsa gladiac ii 64meg video card os: win98 se i got norton, roxio cd, and a stupid driver to make my 3 button mouse a 3 button mouse in my tray. oh, and winclock (no the windows clock, an ancient 16-bit clock app.) i have run p5 with my dialup, zone alarm, web washer, netscape, and trillian running. the only problems i've had was... one image would not render. no, two images. again, i think it is a memory problem, where i don't have enough to load all the textures and do the shadow maps and what-not. this morning, i had a caught c while trying to load textures for a render, but this scene was monstrously huge, so i'm not surprised. oh yeah, i installed the sr1 patch last week. not even having problems with the supposedly problematic files that cause problems in 98. go figure :)
