GeForce 4 Fx :) This is *very* fast card. Ofcourse with newest drivers etc.

But newbies to PovRay cant. Same thing as with Sound settings (greate job 
btw).

*TWO* render buttons.
Or even better three,
[Run preview]
[Run Normal]
[Run Finla]]


And in .ini files You could define i.e.

[run_preview]
-a -g -Ga

[run_normal]

[run_final]
+a0.03 +ar2 +am2


Ofcourse this is obvious for You, me, and other povray users.
But software designer realy should think as a normal-peopes, that dont have 
a clue what .ini file is, and want to faslty have choose quality/speed, 
without reading tons of help. No all pov-users are programmers You know :)
