Later, networking, with FElt on the heaviest iron, moving the fattest videocard to the next box down for the OpenGL chrunching, and move the fdm work to box #3 with traffic etc thru Internet? -- ..med vennlig hilsen = with Kind Regards from Arnt... ;-) ...with a number of polar bear hunters in his ancestry... Scenarios always come in sets of three: best case, worst case, and just in case. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
