Well I read somewhere in a site, that when the matrox card was put into the workstation, it increased the rendering speed tremendously. So I'm sure its also based on the videocards also. I already got 1024 mb of DD2 xms rams so at dual channel. My processor is lacking, its way out dated at amd athlon 2600 xp. I'm still waiting to for prices of the amd 64 to drop in price so..............a video card would be better for me right now so...yeah
