Nik: The tradeshow configuration was put together by Raymond Jones at Micron. Micron uses 3DS in their art department, and is a registered hardware developer. In any case, the tradeshow computers are specifically configured for 3DS. FWIW, when you order a Micron, ask for the Platinum configuration, and you get 64 MB RAM and 2 GB hard disk, in addition to a 4 MB Matrox MGA. I'd say that is a pretty good 3DS configuration. Evan

Thanks Evan, your comments are informative. After asking around Autodesk about the Micron "recommendation", I came up with a few replies: The systems that were at NAB: Pentium 60Mhz 32MB RAM 540MB Hard Drive Diamond Viper PCI bus Video board PCI BUS IDE Cache controller w/16MB RAM Double Speed CD ROM drive ********************************************** Nik- There is no "official PC" for trade shows. Micron is a company we are using on occasion for trade shows. Internally, the "official PC" for Autodesk is Compaq.
