Asking for advice or suggestions. I recently upgrade my system from a
Pentium 166Mhz w/48Mb of RAM & a 2 MB ATI video card to the following;
AMD-K6-2 w 3D Now 400Mhz processor, 64 Mb of SDRAM, & 4Mb AGP(Trident).
My question: As far as modeling in Moray is concerned, will a video card
with more memory produce faster redraws. The Trident AGP was purchased
as a quick fix but my intentions are to go with a well known commercial
model such as MATRX, STB., ATI. Looking to stay under the $250 range.
It's my understanding that the video card plays no role in the speed
of the actual rendering process(POV-Ray) but rather this is handeled by
the CPU and or the limitations (capabilities) of the software.
I would appreciate any suggestions/feedback.
Thanks,
Christopher A. Stallworth

Hi Christopher A. Stallworth, you recently wrote in moray.win:

While I'm not absolutely certain, I don't think so. All graphics
adapters that are available these days support hardware blitting so ,
moray should run fine. There are a couple of ways to tune the redraw
speed so you should always be able to find your optimum setting.
I have a Matrox (Mystique or Millenium) and it's plenty fast.
