  AUSTIN, TX, Mar 30 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
BOXX Technologies, an innovator in high-performance computing systems for
visual effects (VFX), design professionals, and advanced visualization,
today introduced the 3DBOXX 8500, a new Intel(R) "Nehalem" Xeon(R)
Processor based workstation that surpasses the performance of previous
BOXX desktop systems for all professional software applications.

     "This is the next generation of BOXX," said industry analyst Jon Peddie,
President, Jon Peddie Research. "The 8500 is a universally powerful,
one-size-fits-all machine with a Turbo Mode that can even accelerate
single-threaded or poorly-threaded legacy apps which can't take advantage
of the multicores. The performance of the 8500 is so outstanding that its
appeal will easily extend from digital artists to anyone, in any field,
who is looking for a step up in workstation performance."

    Capable of reaching 3.46 GHz using Intel(R) Turbo Boost Technology, the
3DBOXX 8500 provides digital artists with 16 virtual cores of
high-powered, multitasking performance for 3D design, animation,
rendering, and visualization applications, as well as VFX compositing,
video editing and digital intermediate (DI) workflows. Designed to
accommodate multi-threading, multiple applications, and complex
production pipelines, the 8500 features six Intel Xeon Processor 5500
Series options, up to 192 GB advanced DDR3 ECC memory, 12 terabytes of
storage, and up to six hard drives.

     "Capitalizing on new features in the Intel(R) Xeon Processor 5500 Series
including the Intel(R) QuickPath Interconnect, Intel(R) Turbo Boost
Technology, and direct memory access provided by an integrated memory
controller and DDR3 system memory, the 3DBOXX 8500 workstation offers
digital artists, architects and technology professionals significantly
increased performance while enabling better productivity," said Kirk
Skaugen, vice president and general manager of Intel's Server Platforms
Group.

    Available options include Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP, Vista 64, Linux, or
Red Hat operating systems, and NVIDIA(R) Quadro(R) FX or ATI(R)
FirePro(TM) professional graphics cards. For further information, contact
