    She walks, she talks, she is a monster. But even this setup will slow down for Transmaps. And High render settings on Fur is just as slow as Transmap's. It also did not magically make me a better 3D artist, sort of hoped it would. See?

    I wonder what all that would cost today.

    My hero! :lol: I didn't know the i7 had 6 cores. :bug: Well, that's definitely the one I want for my next base. You don't worry about this liquid cooling thing? I mean...water and electricity...you know? :-S

    The H2O 920 is a Sealed system. And I'm insured out the wazoo on this thing. Cost now days? Frankie (her name) is only months old and ran darn near Six grand total, insurance and all. I built her for animation purposes which I'm happy to report she handles MUCH better than I expected her too. This is my Dream machine and I only have it now due to a windfall in my yearly pension check. Yes I could have put that money to better use, but as a disabled person who is a 90% shut in who's major hobby for the last 30 years has been PC's and now 3D art I got it while I had the chance. This is my Birthday present, my X-Mas present and all my mad money for the full year all rolled into one thing. I'm still setting my programs up as I like because this thing is so fresh off the line.

    I Highly recommend the i7 series of CPU's, remember most are hyper-threaded so a Quad core is seen as 8 cores by 3Delight. This one is seen as 12 cores at render time.

    Unfortunately, I cannot afford one right now. Thanks for the tip though.

    Intel i7 4-core processors are $210 - $320. Ok, I'm off to eat dinner.

    very nice tiger Jaderail Thank you Wendy.
    ...looks pretty darn good to me.
    In the old Space Opera RPG, your system would control a planet sized death star.
    Thank you too Kyoto. The part I remember is how the Apollo missions were ran on a system (onboard) that the Vic 20 was stronger than.

    I remember being really impressed with the Commodore 64 when I got it for Diane. That was in the mid 80s. How far things have come in 30 years! There was an add-on for it in the magazines that gave you a 20Meg hard drive. I couldn't imagine how great that would be. All our games and productivity software would fit with almost all of the space still free. And how fast they'd load! :bug: I loved playing Crossbow on that. :)

    When I was a legal secretary in Houston, we took turns working Saturday mornings. It was a large office with many secretaries. By the time it was my turn I had forgotten how to work the switchboard and ended up cutting off the senior partner. I never had Saturday again.

    I'm glad you were legal. Did you write on legal pads? :)

    Only the lawyers got legal pads. We secretaries only got steno pads.

    Most lawyers do deal in illegalities or they wouldn't be in practice long.

    I'm not trying to blame Jaderail, but I forgot what I wanted to do with Lana before I went to bed. See, I loaded naked Lana. Then I switched to Chrome browser to look at Jaderail's nice renders. The I switched back to Lana. Now I am staring at naked Lana trying to remember what outfit I wanted to dress her up in. Ok.. guess I'll remember tomorrow. Sorry, no renders. lol G'night all

    ...At least the LIRR has been around for a while. The commuter rail line we have doesn't even go into down town and is a huge financial sinkhole for our local transit commission.

    The worst part is If they discontinue service before 20 years, they have to pay the feds back to the tune of 59$ million

    ...it's a total "Lose-Lose" situation.
