same frma rate with yout earth_2 mesh mate. but i dont think its a texture problem just haveing a single 2k model with a 1024 texture should not hit the frame rate at all should it?

uuuuh, shader calculations aren't done on the CPU, so that wouldn't help improve shader performance. Any current generation card (even budget ones) will do just fine with most shaders.
BASIC programmers never die, they GOSUB and don't RETURN.

Exactly  I prefer NVIDIA cards because of a bit better technology (I think that they were far earlier than ATI with alphablending with fp textures for example :P) and they offer a stereo driver :P I also heared that their support is quite good.

Thanks for the UC Mike, although trouble shooting can be harsh, I appreciate the effort  About the GPU choise-issue, I think it's also a socket matter. Most modern motherboards are supported with PCI Express and regarding to what nVidia did with it (HSI -> AGP and PCI Express compatible), ATI is better of when looking at the benchmark results. But it's only about a couple of percent that we're talking here. More important is what makes PCI Express better to AGP. Here's a simple diagram to indicate why: Send - recieve - send - recieve -> AGP Send and recieve - send and recieve - send and recieve - send and recieve -> PCI Express Which simply states the fact that PCI Express provides a higher bandwidth. But I somehow still like nVidia better in comparison to ATI due to the elements Slin mentioned before  Cheers Frazzle

this is so off topic, but i like to view people profiles, to have an idea of the person we talk too, we are all so young here... 20's mostly. Wondering why we don't have more knowledge about everyone here, we could be friends, share things hum, msn adresses etc.. :: get back to topic:: Its a shame laptops can't work like uSB drives, that you could change card
