<Graphics rendering should and will be done by the graphics processor, not the CPU.> And the initial geometry calculations, including lighting and transformations, should be done by whom? Face it, Scumbria, there are some parts of the 3-D rendering engine that just can't be done on the graphics card, unless you want to embed a full CPU platform on the card complete with its own memory and bus-mastering PCI controllers. As graphics cards mature and become more powerful, they will need faster and faster CPUs in order to keep their rendering pipelines full. Tenchusatsu
