Is the Box(x) dual, or more cpu, and the laptop single core?
Just wondering if there's some thrashing between cores going on with the Box(x).

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.
