TORONTO, Sept. 23 /CNW/ - ATI Technologies Inc. (TSE:ATY) today announced that the RAGE(TM) PRO TURBO 2X AGP graphics accelerator has been chosen to deliver the accelerated graphics port (AGP) graphics and multimedia acceleration for new IBM systems in the award-winning Aptiva line of consumer PCs. The new IBM systems include the top-of-the-line Aptiva SE7 and value-oriented Aptiva E4N. The Aptiva SE7 is powered by Intel's new Pentium(R) II 450 MHz processor and features a DVD-ROM drive for superior graphics performance in games and movies, while the Aptiva E4N ships with AMD's recently-announced AMD-K6(R)-2/350MHz processor. The ATI RAGE PRO TURBO is an ideal choice for the new IBM machines because it produces high levels of realism in 3D applications for home PC use, and is perfect for avid gaming, Websurfing, and SOHO multimedia enthusiasts. The software DVD replay of the RAGE PRO TURBO produces crisp, full motion, full screen video MPEG2 playback for the best in home theater and entertainment applications. 'With these latest design wins, ATI continues its close partnership with IBM and tradition of providing the graphics and multimedia acceleration to the complete line of Aptiva PCs,'' said Ed Grondahl, vice president of product marketing at ATI. ''The further selection of the RAGE PRO TURBO is yet further proof that ATI delivers the best AGP performance on the market, and in tandem with the latest processor technology.''

The RAGE PRO TURBO provides the full AGP 2X specification, with SideBand Addressing (SBA), Pipelining and AGP texturing. The 3D RAGE PRO chip off-loads much of the computational workload from the processor and, with the chip's motion compensation technology, can provide the full frame rates needed for high quality DVD/MPEG-2 playback. Systems can be operated at any resolution or color depth, with full scalability of the video window, up to full screen. As a result, DVD movies are of the highest quality, with no jumpy images and can be enjoyed full-screen on large monitors.
