Folks-
I have a new, very capable PC workstation that seemed to work great the first week or two I used it. It was much faster to manipulate shaded images than it was to manipulate wireframe (with no hidden lines) images. lately though, with the same model, the reverse is true: wireframe (with no hidden lines) images move much faster than shaded images. Any ideas what might have happened?

Heckler-
I'll have to get back with you on that. The machine is at work and I won't be there until tomorrow.

I had the same/similar thing happen to me when I was using a borred machine but it turned out to be dust bunnies caked on the V-Card. So the card overheated and was on its way to the recycle pyle
