Software rendering is too slow. I've got a program that takes
advantage of OpenGL on the GPU to decrease rendering times by
magnitudes. I've proven this on a MacBook Pro with an 256Mb X1600,
and am now in the process of setting up a rendering farm to take
advantage of this in a distributed environment with Xserves.
So my question remains, can a card other than the 256MB X1300 be used
in an Intel Xserve?
Thanks,

I can understand your logic on this, but under normal circumstances
you wouldn't expect to use the display on a server, even if that
server is part of a rendering farm. You'd use your own desktop
computer to access the server's data. The server should just be
serving -- in this case serving CPU power.
