DS4A is like DS3A compared to DS3 free and DS4pro has all the developing tools for content installed in with the programming as far as i've seen

FYI, for me the biggy that pushed me to go with DS4A over the free version was that DS4A is 64-bit. I have 8gb of ram right now and am contemplating going to 16gb since the upgrade I need is pretty cheap right now. If I was just using the free version I'd get no benefit from all that extra memory.

So will the rendering take less time in DS4A than the free version??
I like DS very much, but almost never use it because of the SLOW rendering time:-))

the render is only slow if you don't adjust the settings...

hi mariny
Going to 64bit gives a small improvement to render times. (This is assuming your windows is already 64bit.)
Its real use is to get more figures, props and more complex lighting effects into a scene than you could with limited memory.
The current answer to slow renders is still upgrading to a faster processor with lots of cores.
