"I think this is the article James was referring to, Yousef please see the note at the bottom of this post.......thanks for the news David."
GARDEN GROVE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 29, 1997--Techmedia, an international manufacturer of
high-performance computer systems, monitors, notebooks, DVD-ROM and CD-ROM drives, Wednesday announced it is
shipping the next generation of its signature systems -- the new MediaPro Plus and MediaPro II Plus featuring Intel's
Pentium/Pentium II MMX processors and AMD's K6 MMX enhanced processors.
Each system accommodates hard drive space of up to 6.4GB, is Internet ready with a 33.6k or 56k modem containing voice,
full duplex and speaker phone, has pipeline burst cache, and expandable EDO memory. High-speed CD-ROM and
DVD-ROM drives, a 3D video graphics accelerator with 4MB of memory, and a 16-bit sound card with 20 watt 3D stereo
speakers are all standard on the MediaPro Plus and MediaPro II Plus systems. Both are Year 2000 compliant, and have
processing speeds to 300MHz or faster.
Techmedia designed the new systems to feature an ATX motherboard which efficiently uses and conserves power by enabling
the operating system to sense devices not in use and shut them down. The ATX motherboard has two universal serial bus
ports to facilitate a larger daisy-chain for peripherals, as well as built-in 512KB cache memory. Ultra Direct Memory Access
allows data to be transferred between the hard drive and processors at 33MB per second, which significantly increases
processing and access time.
Prices for the MediaPro Plus and MediaPro II Plus series range form $949 to under $2,900.
Techmedia Computer Systems Corp., established in 1994, supplies its signature MediaPro Series systems, high-resolution
monitors, as well as peripherals to a continually expanding international customer base. Sales and manufacturing facilities in
North America are located in major cities throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico. South American operations
include Argentina, Brazil (two locations), Chile and Uruguay. Sales: 800/379-0077. Web site: www.techmedia.net .
