Mr Miller –
The system is a 25Mhz so I don't see why that would be an upgrade. Also, I
think $150 is a bit much for a chip, and my freind is a bit upset about
this "Oops, sorry we didn't tell you about that…" from Autodesk of all
people. This is the sort of thing you expect from a Mac.
What was the other suggestion?

James:
Since you did not say in your messages I did not know what clock speed your
friend's computor was. The B-Step chip produces errors and is an earlier
version than the D-Step chip, that would be an upgrade. When I was
checking, about a year ago, $150 for a 386 CPU was excellent price.
According to the manual even some 25 MHz CPU's have this problem.
If he has the 25 MHz then the computor must be made by Intel, earlier
versions were made by Oliveti for AT&T. When we were evaluating 3DS at the
FAA for their CBT project, they were using AT&T 386/25 computors, we
finally had to disable the "Cache Memory". None of these problems ever
stopped 3DS from loading, but it might help you later, who knows.
As far as the other suggestion, it won't help if you don't have the B-Step
chip. Good luck, hope it work out ok.

Sorry if I sounded curt, it wasn't intended. Yes, it is a 386. We will try
the other things you suggested, and if you can come up with any thing else
we would apprecitate it.
How long have you been working with 3ds?
