'Purity of Essence'

I noticed! I mine as 3840×3840px … on my computer double that would probably take about four hours to render (sigh) ... I set apo at 2000 quality .. just curious what settings do you use for your renders?

I’ve got a dual core Intel 3ghz but only 2GB on this box (sigh) ... still it’s a good ‘puter and renders in resonable time thank goodness … sometimes patience isn’t my strongest suit (grin) .. am limited by memory .. found that out already .. but still it’s good enough for now .. soon as I can more memory for this box if I can (forget is 2gigs is the max or not AND a newer better faster lol computer soon too (lol one of these days (grin)) ..

right now I have wifi to our isp .. sis wants to commit to DSL … wants to save money .. well needs to cut back on expenses … but then again Qwest says we have DSL but still hedges on it … we got the modem, etc. we’ll see … if it isn’t as good as what we already have I may bite the bullet and give her the difference to keep our wifi … only thing bad about the wifi is that during the spring thunderstorms we can lose our connection but then again I really don’t want to have my ‘puter plugged in with the horrendous thunderstorms/lightning/etc. that we get around here ..

how fast is your DSL? should be at least 1.5Mbps our wifi is 1.4 and upload time isn’t too bad … one time I clocked 5 min for one of my largest files … definitely not as big as your files are though … I heard cable (if hardly anyone is on your line) is amazingly fast .. no cable here to check that out… we live three miles out of town in the county …

thanks for the info Scott .. always so much to learn .. exciting too (smile) appreciate it (smile)

ya money money money .. something in short supply around here … am drooling over a 64bit with 8gigs too … don’t want vista ever .. got xp need it for some graphic programs that don’t run under Crossover in Linux (me linux gurl) ... don’t remember if I told you that … for the life of me I don’t remember if I’m running a 64bit version or the 32bit … I always tell myself I should write it down and never do … but if I had to guess it’s the 32bit one … oh well … like I said always wanter bigger better faster in my ‘puters and to think I was so happy eons ago with an old cp/m (pre-dos) ‘puter with a miniscule amount of memory … or even the macSE I had for a few years .. then there was that 386-40 .. real screamer .. top of the line .. actually I still wish I had it along with all the scroller and text games I had that would run on it .. oh well it’s history now hehe …

sis still hasn’t connected to the DSL yet .. she actually wanted me to do it and I won’t .. she’s capable to do it … I just have this horrible feeling my connection will get worse too … oh sigh …

yes Crossover uses Wine and adds upon it, I believe .. commercial product … easier to deal with than just plain wine IMHO .. can run UF Apo and Sterling2 with ease under it .. and PaintShopPro .. fractal vizon and tierazon I don’t think so .. have them on the old win box .. haven’t tried everything yet (grin) ..

yup you’re right I believe .. got 21bit linux MINT .. tried many before this one … love the live CD’s since I can play around with the distros whenever I feel like it and not mess with my system … I could have dual booted this one with winXP but thought I’d just get another ‘puter and dual boot that (one of these days (grin)) ...

I agree hardily … America is the backwoods with broadband (sigh) ... and wyoming even more so … since we’re basically rural with very little population there is a lot less choice and we end up paying a lot more for our access (sigh) ... good luck with the cable if you choose to get it … only thing besides being faster is how many people are running with you on that cable .. thought I remember reading the more neighbors who are using it the slower you access can be … but it’s been years since I checked into it …

I love this simple beautifully lit heart..
