Available in separate client and server versions, it includes built-in networking and preemptive multitasking. 4.0 for the critically acclaimed 3DEMON(TM) twin-GMX8/20-PCI 3D accelerator for Alpha and Intel platforms. With this new software upgrade, up to four monitors may be used at one time to display today's most challenging applications. As today's professional applications get more complex, they tend to get performance and screen real estate hungry. Multiple 3DEMON(TM) twin-GMX8/20-PCI cards enabled with multi-monitor support, lead to an overall increase in productivity due to the increased performance and a less chaotic desktop workspace. For example, you can open and manipulate multiple assemblies simultaneously under Pro/E or manipulate your animation under 3Dstudio MAX on one screen while working with the materials editor on the other.
