Right. After collecting responses, the general feeling is that I can look at around 1FPS on a P3-600 to P3-800 class machine, or so, assuming that I do some filtering. Also, AMD chips are around 30% faster than the clock speed equivalent would suggest, compared to Intel chips. Finally, I probably should have pointed out in this message that I really want to be able to get a throughput of around 1 hour per day, minimum, with little noise filtering. Anything slower ties up my storage for too long, but adding a couple of machines at one to two days per title is acceptable to me -- I get the higher throughput, but with hardware that many people are giving away for next to nothing. :) Daniel -- In the attention economy, anyone trying to connect with an audience must treat the user's time as the ultimate resource. -- Jakob Neilsen ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
