I meant Athlon 64 939 3000+ -> Athlon 64 754 3400+. AZ: Apparently not because Bubba paid 1200 for a comparable config (except for the graphics card which is a 200$… -

Re: is SLI worth the mooolah
No, it's not. Most games aren't optimized for SLI yet, so you get only moderate frame rate boosts for the extra money you're spending. Instead of getting two 6600gts in SLI for example, you should get a 7900gt. Check out this page for an example: http://www.tomshardware.com/2005/05/24/vga_charts_vi/page8.html Two 6800gts… -

Re: Netting Help
Rendering it as geometry would speed up the rendering time, but kill the scene file. You could use proxy objects or Xrefs so you're working with a low poly object but rendering the high, or just bake it down and fake all the lighting so the low poly works. I would probably model it out, bake it down to simple geometry with… -
Re: game model
