The implementor says that there is perhaps an order of magnitude better performance with the i860 than the 040. I don't know what sort of benchmark was used to make this comparison. Has anyone outside of NeXT seen a 3DKit demo on a NeXTdimension system? All the demos that I have seen and heard of are done using the slabs. Stuart
