In my opinion (Allen Akin will correct me if I am wrong :-), pbuffers
is a over-kill for this. You can do this by tweaking "ircombine"
appropriately. If you have an extra monitor, you can even see what
you are rendering. If you have HDTV monitors it will look even better:-)
The thing you have to really worry is whether you have enough RM boards
to do this. I used to have a table with that data for different sampling
resolutions which I don't have with me here (home). You might look in
pf archives or at SGI web site for it, or just go ahead and try ircombine.
