Here's a great one..

see if anyone can verify this happening for them.. (and that excludes you, Eric)

the box(x) i am on at work has an nvidia quadro fx 3000 in it with 256 MB of RAM

my laptop is 5 years old and has an nvidia geforce4 440 (to go) in it with 32mb of ram.

particle simulations (on ANY simulation) are about 3 times faster on my laptop..

anyone got an answer for that one????

just to preface:
my laptop is nowhere near the box(x) i am working on at the office.. so.. its not hardware related to anything other than video card.. and YES.. i have tried the most current driver, the oldest driver, AND the softimage recommended driver..


which by the way.. none of which are on my laptop.

todd
