None of these has ANY effect on povray only Moray

Be prepared to wait  both radiousity and Anti-Aliasing take longer (as does
adding more light sources and media/halo and a few other things)

 My machine: Pentium II - 266 MHz,

graphics card doesn't help nor hinder renders

 192 MB RAM, size of Virtual Memory 250 MB, Free disc

Nope no error, radiousity adds temendously to render time. you will soon

unknown in history.  :-)

btw  post your image on the binaries group for us when it finishes please
:-)
