***BOXX Taps New NVIDIA Quadro4 XGL Architecture to Offer
Groundbreaking 3DBOXX Workstations
(February 19)

BOXX Technologies, a developer and manufacturer of systems for
the digital content creation and film industries, today announced
support for NVIDIA's new Quadro(tm)4 XGL architecture with
nView(tm) multidisplay technology in its 3DBOXX series of
graphics workstations running Windows 2000 and Linux.

Available in dual processor configurations running Microsoft
Windows 2000 or Linux, the 3DBOXX series of workstations with
Quadro4 technology is certified and optimized for leading 3D and
animation software programs such as Maya, 3D Studio MAX,
Softimage 3D, and LightWave 3D and leading CAD programs such as
AutoCAD, CATIA, Microstation, Pro/Engineer, Solid Edge,
SolidWorks and others.

3DBOXX featuring Quadro4 XGL Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)
support advanced shader operations and are designed to accelerate
OpenGL® and DirectX® professional applications by implementing
workstation functionality, such as hardware overlay planes,
hardware-accelerated antialiased points and lines, advanced
memory management, and other features critical to improving
performance in professional applications. NVIDIA's Quadro4
products also utilize the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecure(tm)
(UDA), a set of backward and forward, top to bottom compatible
graphics drivers intended to optimize application performance,
stability and reliability.

3DBOXX will be available with the Quadro4 900 XGL, 700 and 750
XGL, and 500 and 550 XGL GPUs. 3DBOXX with Quadro4 XGL
technology is expected to ship late February 2002, with pricing
starting at $1,780 (US).
