It really depends on your computer. The Apple G4 processor has dedicated 'Alti-umph' processing unit that overcomes previous umph limitations. Older G3 computers need a library from Apple called "UmphLib" installed in at least MacOS 8.6 . On the Wintel side, Pentium IIIs process "umph" code much faster than the Pentium IIs, but certain "MMXumph" enhanced chips arent too shabby. It really depends on your box. Its really the "Wowee!" that you miss out on the Mac right now. Sure its been out on the PC for months, but supposedly there will be a Mac version soon that isnt a beta. hope that helps, ernie Ernesto Ikerd, (817) 763-4795 Company Graphics, Dept 17, MZ-4202 Lockheed Martin Aeronautics Company Fort Worth, Texas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
