You are responding to this message from Scumbria on Feb 11 1999 10:42AM EST Haim, OK. Let's say that there are some sophisticated compression schemes which can be serviced favorably by a microprocessor. Do you need an $500-800 PIII to service this algorithm, or will it run with adequate performance on a $100 AMD processor? Scumbria Wait, you just said that the processor speed means nothing if the internet B/W is the bottleneck and that "regular" compression schemes can be done via simple H/W (e.g. your proposed FPGA chip). NURBS tessellation (just an example... by no means the only one) can provide tremendous compression of data in the way models are stored. And yes... the power of the processor will make a difference in spite of the limited B/W that you might have over the internet. Haim
