A real fast PC running straight DOS. :-)
But I use two machines for the rendering of Jim's FOTDs:
• A 10-year old P3 running Win-98.
• An 7-year old P4 running Win-XP.

The recent "Seahorse Valley-12" has a rather lengthy calc-time. We
already know how long it took on Jim's machine.
Too bad FractInt will not run on my double QuadCore 64-bit 16-MB RAM
machine. Up until a couple of months ago, it rated the highest in speed
doing similar fractal rendering tests in two other email lists.

I can make a few when it comes to the Windows OS. There are so many
things that get established a certain way with the default settings.
And they really slow machines down.
