Wrong, sorry. GPU can be used to do these kind of things as well as certain mathematical operations. Of course, only certain kinds of things are faster with GPU. But then are they are usually a LOT faster. I will try to dig a bit, I dunno where I saw all this. I don't like claimng things and giving no link so I will try to get you one. ---------------------- Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SFXn,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ...
