There is no point in using an assembler because all you will get is a 2 to 3 times speed improvement over using a C compiler. What you want is a protected mode C compiler and a good book on graphics. If you are wanting to do ray tracing... I recommend Andrew Glassners book on ray tracing, along with Geoff Wyvills paper on the edge follower (in the procedings to CGI about 4 years ago). remember good algorythms allways triumph over fast implimentations of bad algorythms.
