CompuAdd debuts new workstations at Autofact 95; Promises performance breakthrough.AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 8, 1995--CompuAdd Corporation has selected Autofact 95, scheduled to begin on November 14 at Chicago's McCormick Place McCormick Place is an enormous exposition complex located in Chicago, Illinois. , to introduce its new Pentium(R) Pro C6150MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. and Pentium 133MHz-powered workstations. These Windows NT-based systems are tuned to run Parametric Technology's Pro/ENGINEER(T) and pack AccelGraphics 3D accelerator cards to deliver superior MCAD MCAD Microsoft Certified Application Developer MCAD Mechanical Computer Aided Design MCAD Medium-Chain Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase (inherited metabolic disease) MCAD Minneapolis College of Art and Design performance. The new workstations can be seen in the CompuAdd booth No. 574, where the plans are to run a variety of MCAD and digital editing applications using software that includes Pro/ENGINEERT, I-DEAS, and AutoCAD Release 13. In addition, Secure Digital Communication s interactive multimedia technology will be employed to demonstrate the machines desktop-to-desktop videoconferencing capabilities. Asked about his expectations for these new workstations, Rick Krause, CompuAdd CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. , said: "The complete solution we have developed gives our customers the power and flexibility needed to run demanding 32-bit MCAD and CAD/CAM CAD/CAM in full computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing. Integration of design and manufacturing into a system under direct control of digital computers. applications at peak performance levels. The performance and features these workstations deliver make them efficient choices." "Microsoft and CompuAdd have joined forces before, and achieved great success. We expect the same result in the workstation market," said Matt Ragen, Worldwide Marketing Manager for Engineering at Microsoft. "Advanced users, such as engineers, have been looking for Looking for In the context of general equities, this describing a buy interest in which a dealer is asked to offer stock, often involving a capital commitment. Antithesis of in touch with. a high performance system that can easily integrate data between all their applications--both standard desktop software and CAD/CAM/CAE applications. Windows NT (Windows New Technology) A 32-bit operating system from Microsoft for Intel x86 CPUs. NT is the core technology in Windows 2000 and Windows XP (see Windows). Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. makes it easier for engineers to get their work done." Intel's Rich Bowles, program director, added, "We have had a strong relationship with CompuAdd since its founding in 1982, and we are very enthusiastic about their entering the workstation market. Our Pentium Pro The sixth generation of the Intel x86 family of CPU chips. The term may refer to the chip or to a PC that uses it. Introduced in 1995 as the successor to the Pentium, models from 150 MHz to 200 MHz were released. processor was developed to meet the market s demand for more power. The workstations CompuAdd developed use that power to deliver extraordinary performance." Olympio DeMarco, PTC's manager of strategic relations noted, "Parametric Technology Corporation |Parametric Technology Corporation]] Parametric Technology Corporation (PTC)(NASDAQ: PMTC) provides Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) engineering CAD/CAM software and content management and dynamic publishing solutions to more than 40,000 companies worldwide. has successfully implemented an aggressive hardware certification With ever dropping prices of hardware devices, the market for networking devices and systems is undergoing a kind of change that can be loosely termed as ‘generalization’. Big established enterprises like Cisco, Novell, Sun Microsystems etc. strategy which has helped Pro/ENGINEERT become the leading MCAD/CAM solution in the industry. CompuAdd will help us further strengthen our leadership position by offering high performance, Intel-based, 3D workstations that will broaden the platform choices for our Windows-based customers." "The CompuAdd workstation with an AccelGraphics 3D accelerator provides an unbeatable system for 3D mechanical design," said Greg Milliken, vice president of marketing at AccelGraphics. "Our 3D accelerators deliver the best 3D graphics price-performance in the industry and when coupled with a CompuAdd workstation running an application like Pro/ENGINEER the system performance matches or surpasses comparable UNIX-based systems." CompuAdd Corporation was founded in 1982 and is based in Austin, Texas. The company is a recognized pioneer in the manufacture and marketing of technology products and in the establishment of after-sale service and support standards. -0- Editors note--for toll-free information, your readers may call 1-800-477-7606.
