Dear Norbert,

 Thank you for your help. I've just visted the site you recommended. I've
run the benchmark program "chess2.pov" with 'rendering priority->highest'
and 'GUI priority ->lowest'. The result was a disappointing one. It took
11min.38seconds.
Could it be due to the fact that I've got 128MB(RDRAM)?
The motherboard on my computer is Gigabyte 8TX(based on Itel 850 GPset).
Well, AMD must have done better design than the Intel.

Thanks,

Jong.
