OK, well, drac did his review of things a couple of days ago, so I had a few hours and here's some of my observations. About a week ago I got a new PC, PIV 3.2GHz wih 2gb of ram and winxp pro. It has a bottom of the line ati card in at the moment, but the card is good enough to run daz studio on it, so I'm happy enough with what it can do performance-wise (at the moment). I'm fairly new to the intricacies of xp and to the implications of hyperthreaded CPUs, so this is also a "this is what I see - is it what others have got/is there a setting that fixes this" as well as some thoughts. BUG KILLING Task bar is damn handy to have it back again. Its kind of odd though that when you move the mouse over the windows task bar at the bottom of the screen that the bryce 5.5 top menu bar thing also pops up. Is that the way its meant to work? I know under win98 and bryce 5 that didn't happen. Softshadows and gel issues - yay they're fixed.
