I would add that you may also want to consider a soon to be announced
product from Silicon Graphics.  See this week's Business Week for an
article on the Compaq/SGI deal.  They mention a high performance
machine (MIPS R3000 based I am sure) priced well below Compaq (!!)
that will be out by the summer.  I think that the article said that it
will have integral multimedia support.  I assume this means video??
Audio is already on the 4D/35.

>especially when you need good 3D rendering software.

And what could be better than an SGI machine for 3D rendering
performance?
