I need a tip..

Hi polycounters, does anyone know of any tips to increase rendering speed for 3ds max using just a default sky light and 20 shadow rays. It seems to take for ever to render even the most basic of scenes. I have no other lights set up in the scene and Im using noting but difuse bitmaps for textures.
Other than lowering the number of rays cast ( and this makes the scene look like ass) what can I do? Thanks for any help you can lend.

i guess maybe turn off other program in use.

whats in your scene? pretty difficult helping you optimize it with some more info? and 20 rays isnt that much either, so sounds like your machine might be too weak.
