These ground textures are photo realistic, that's so awesome.

It's like, the land is perfectly flat, but I'm seeing it as a 10,000 polygon surface from all these ridges and bumps. It looks amazing.

2.8GHz, but don't forget it's not so much the speed itself that determines a processor's power. AMD processors, while generally slower than Pentium (Highest I've seen is 2.4, and they're quite expensive) still manage to deliver more power.
this is good news to me...i've got a 2.4 GHz AMD Athalon 64 processor onboard this PC...

anyways, lovin the update...really real...and yet a little too shiny

It needs to be shiny so you can see how each individual tile reacts to the light..

I completely re-did the sky rendering to make it a bit more interesting.

I put up a youtube video of it in timelapse, but it got pretty messed up by the compression.
