Build my own kitchen online or through software?

My parents are adding to their kitchen at their house. My mom was wondering about any programs that may help them with plan layouts and to see what it will look like before they build it. She went to a site called www.DIY.com and they have a small, internet based program. But, it's not enough for her. They got a new Dell for Christmas with a P4, 256mb, and a GF2, so hardware shouldn't be a problem with whatever program they're wanting. Do you guys have any suggestions for something they might like?

Mitch

Microsoft Visio should work for you though a bit pricey. If you go to major hardware stores (Home Depot, Lowe's) they have software there to design kitchens. Its free at Lowes.

I went to the microsoft Visio website and it doesn't look like you can build a 3-D image of a kitchen. Am I wrong?

How about 3D Home Architect.

I used to play with that when I got my first computer. Really easy and fun!
