Unlike some other programs. Link Editor in TS7 is applicable to anything, you
could even construct your own rendering pipeline, all by Drag&Drop&Link:)
I actually am not "in the know" about the RAM limitations of 32 but multi-cores
. I would imagine that first generation dual-core systems will be confined to
current 4GB limit but I also would think that upcoming new generation of PCIe,
called PCIe AS (Advanced Switching) would overcome that as it will treat inside
of MS Windows desktop hardware kind of like a "little private internet" inside
the
box.

Roman,
Thanks for confirming my observations about tS7! Ever since Shader
Magic came out, I've been hoping that the nodal type of interface would
catch on (in more than a material editor)! I can't think of anything
else in tS7 that could trump the Link Editor (for me anyway), but I look
forward to it nonetheless!
One question on the 64bit versus 32bit multi core subject. I know that
one of the major advantages of the 64bit architecture over the normal
32bit architecture is that the 64bit system can use a lot more RAM.
Will the multicore 32bit systems also be able to use more RAM, or is
this an advantage the 64bit systems will have? This is more of a
technology question than it is a tS question, but you are obviously in
the know about these things.

what we call "node-based editor") is more powerful and easier to use than any
other equivalent in any existing 3D product, including some very high priced
systems. Revolutionary architecture behind it is also making possible real time
scalability on new multi-core CPU's.

worked very hard on integrating new Link Editor with existing widget and Icon
based direct manipulation which everyone loves. Funny though, I remember we
received some harsh criticism at the time when we introduced widgets too:)
