Well as you all know UT2k4 DEMO is out, and boy what a blast it is. Im hooked on that powernode mode. Unfortuantly deadlines are arriving. But i said why not, and on my SMP Xeon workstation while I hit render I decided to boot up the demo and see how it did. All I can say is wow. I mean the load time were horrible (hard drive getting thrashed from reading textures), but once the game got up it ran silky smooth on at 1600x1200. After two rounds, i decided to check back on my render, and guess what. The frames were taking about 26 minutes to render compared to the 15 they were taking before. Not half bad, becuase i can alway say im getting work done 
. Still im suprised that it got anyframes done, as there is always a F@H running to take up that one spare cycle, ut2k3, photoshop and max running, and work still got done, and i got to frag on. Wow i would hate to see my old 2100+ try and do this. Ah who says you cant game and work on an smp =P
