The Elite3D-M3 has 3 floating processor units, and the -M6 has 6
floating processor units. The -M6 would be faster for processing 3D
vector data, twice the amount of floating processor units would allow
for double "Z" buffering, basically while displaying one frame (using 3
floating processor units) and calculating in advance the next frame with
the additional 3 floating processor units.
