(Nasdaq: ADSK - news), as key partners for its ``Decision 2000'' election coverage strategy. NBC, MSNBC and CNBC will be powered by a total of nine Silicon Graphics® Onyx2® visualization systems running Discreet frost, an industry-leading, high-performance real-time graphics solution-giving the NBC network the ability to render fully anti-aliased 3D imagery and text in real-time as well as update graphics templates. Data for rendering these graphics will come from SGI(TM) 1400M servers running a database connected to the Voter News Service (VNS). To provide its audience with the latest election numbers, NBC will also dedicate an entire studio to real-time poll results. More than 40 Silicon Graphics® 230 Windows NT® OS-based visual workstations and Silicon Graphics® 1600SW flat panel displays will collect poll data and send it to the servers. ..........
