I just got my P133 system last night (FAST!). This was custom built by
Expert Services (Florence, KY) for me with a Triton Chipset MB, 16 MB EDO
RAM, Diamond Stealth 64 Video card, etc. I haven't installed WinNT yet,
so I am using WfWG for now. No problems AT ALL with LightWave - although
I did have to go to 64k color mode (1024x768) for the Layout previews to
show correctly. I would recommend the Triton chipset - it's Intel's
latest for PCI support. The Diamond Stealth 64 Video card is also
recommended for LW. I have 256kb cache now, but have 512 kb cache on
order - not sure what the benchmark say, but I will do a test to compare.
16MB is usable - the "blade" scene off the LW CDROM renders just fine,
with tolerable swapping.
