Robert already got the answers. 3DS for NT on Intel platform will be the first to arrive, but obviously, other platforms will arrive on demand. Although 3DS NT doesn't have any schedule yet, Autodesk has announced that AutoCAD will be available first for NT Intel, then NT Alpha. Most probably, 3DS will follow the same way (always remember that portability is one of the strong points of NT). When 3DS NT for Intel arrives, I am sure a date will be announced for the Alpha version. My message about the Celebris XL line was intended to suggest a smooth transition path between the Intel and Alpha arenas (althought I am not sure if there will be enough time between the Intel and Alpha versions to justify a multiprocessor upgrade to get two Intels while waiting for the Alpha. In the other side, the second Intel may be most cost effective than replacing the first and getting only one Alpha). ana /krazy images
