Looks like from the replies that I am getting the speed that is expected. I am running the 28/28 MHz '030/'882 combo with 4 Mb 32-bit and an 80 Mb hard drive. Looks like this combo will provide from 11-14 times the speed of a stock Amy. Oh, this is also TS 2.0. Someone suggested that TS SV might be a little faster. I wonder if Imagine will be any faster? New rendering modes that provide speed AND shadows? I guess I am whining again so I better quit. Thanks for the replies, mike scribner ponca city, OK

In-Reply-To: message from PMXSG0%POPV03@dupont.com What you need to get is TS v3.0...the SV is the module you add for X-Specs compatibility. IMAGINE is supposed to use Turbo Silver's rendering engine, which is probubly one of the fastest you'll find.

When I called Impulse about the SV version they also told me that it was a little faster and produced a better image than the 3.0 version. I don't have it so I can't testify to this. The SV version does it's designing in HiRes also. I didn't have enough chip ram at the time so I didn't upgrade. Maybe I should, now that I have my 3000. >IMAGINE is supposed to use Turbo Silver's rendering engine, which is probubly >one of the fastest you'll find. Has Imagine been released? I haven't heard anything about the release date. The last time I was at a dealer they still didn't have it nor any dates on it. Oh well. >Sean ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ======================================================================= ||To steal from one is plagiarism.

In-Reply-To: message from S36666WB@ETSUACAD.BITNET I'm not saying this is the God's honest truth, but from what I've heard, they're postponing the release of IMAGINE until they can sell off some more TS3.0... Apparently, now that word about Imagine is out, the price of TurboSilver dropped like a rock, and now distributors can't even give it away. IMAGINE is supposed to be ready to go...

This is a retraction to my post on IMAGINE's relationship to TurboSilver
3.0...
It was a blatant rumor that I should have checked out before posting. Working
at an Amiga store, you hear all kinds of things...I really need to be more
careful about what I post in the future.
I'm sorry if this caused anyone any discomfort, and my sicerest apologies to
everyone at IMPULSE. You guys are doing a great job, and I look forward to
the eminent (sp) release of IMAGINE.
