Mary & Intel Investors - MAJOR PENTIUM III ENDORSEMENT - AUTOCAD 2000 will support the new Pentium III SSE instructions !! "AutoCAD 2000 to Support Intel's New Pentium III Processor; Deliver Increased Performance for the Design Community" This is of major significance. Autodesk's AutoCAD is the most popular Professional 2D and 3D CAD package for mechanical and architecture design - ever since its launch 17 years ago. Further, Autodesk's competitors (Dassault & Parametric Technology) have already endorsed Pentium III SSE for their 3D design CAD packages. This will definitely boost Pentium III/XEON sales in the professional CAD and Workstation market.
