Another way this could be implemented is for the Truespace to create a switch
within
its display options panel where the app to load a Truespace only O.S.
referencing setup.
Like a Dos window takeover as with games. However, with much more control than
that
time and display coordinations could be setup in a similar fashion as the KFE
except it
allocates processing to the available processor or processors. This way XP or
other O.S.
is not involved and Truespace can truly maximize the use of Hardware. With this
type of
switch toggled Truespace returns to the default state of being hosted as a
visual layer
on top of XP. Thats a benifet of Object oriented programming in terms of
communications
with more than one processor. Object oriented implementated programming is
still young
in terms of what it deals with in respect to interactive engagement of its code
from a symetrical and or elegant processing technique. Stroustrup once said
however, a structure does have its place in terms of overhead whether within an
object or not.
Regardless of how it is done it is Kinda neat to think about - If it happens
as it could it certainly may useful in many ways . Glad to chat on this topic.
Thanks very much for posting as it does provide a view to future possibilities
of using TrueSpace.

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.
