Hi guys! A few days ago I received my new sweetheart  :-) (Dell Insp. 6400, 2 x 2 Ghz,  2  Gb  ram, 256 Mb ATI X1400 graphic card, 15' wsxga LCD ) and it's like a  good dream  coming  true; my new lover has TWO cool hearts (Double Core) and it NEVER overheats; you can't hear the fans even at max load!  (Bryce uses only one core; Vue 5i uses both) I want to cry with joy when I render; it's totally silent & coool; hopefully no more lost work due to boiling processor!

It took 2 years to spare (equivalent) 1800 Usd and went through hell during that time but now the knots are loosened  and I'm back to the RenderWorld. As a reminder though that nothing is perfect in this dimension I have some tiny problem with the OS (WinXP Media Ed, aliased icon appearances ) but I can live with that until the next reinstallation.

Blessings and Peace
