We still use our two 4D 440 Reality Engine as teh workhorses. Sure they are
not as fast as teh Onyx, but they are great machines. We have not had any
machine related problems with Performer on them. Off hand and depending on the
application, frame rate for our app is 1/2 to the same as the 4 processor
150MHz Onyx.
