How do you spend 18 hours a day in front of a computer without your eyes falling out? Or is there some way to do 3ds max without spending 18 hours a day in front of a computer?

On the bright side, phenom ii is a very noticeable improvement over its predecessor. My render times are down by quite a bit, especially in Maya, who's rendering algorithms apparently make better use of the l3 cache. Phenom 2 920 scored almost twice what the 9500 did on SPECap x64 4 thread. :D So that made me happy.
