(TSE:ATY, NASDAQ:ATYT) announced today that Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE:CPQ) has selected ATI's latest RAGE Mobility(TM)-P mobile graphics accelerator for the new Compaq Armada M700 and Armada E700 series of high-performance notebook PCs. Compaq has also chosen the ATI RAGE(TM) LT Pro graphics accelerator for the new Armada M300 series. Following a fast growing number of design wins with other leading notebook computer manufacturers, this is the first design win for the ATI RAGE Mobility with the Compaq Armada line of notebook PCs. Able to deliver industry-leading 2D, 3D, and video performance, with no weight penalty and very low power consumption, the ATI RAGE Mobility family of mobile graphics is very quickly becoming the notebook OEM graphics accelerator of choice. ATI RAGE Mobility-P is used in the ultimate, high-performance, enterprise Armada E700 with an Intel(R) Pentium II(R) 400MHz processor, and is matched in the Armada M700 with the Intel Pentium II processor at 400MHz or 366 MHz. ''Compaq's selection of the ATI RAGE Mobility for its new series of leading-edge Armada M700 and Armada E700 enterprise environment notebook PCs is further proof that corporate users today are demanding all the performance and features of a desktop PC system when travelling for extended periods on the road,'' said Bill Henry, director of mobile component marketing, ATI Technologies Inc. ''ATI's RAGE Mobility sets the industry standard in notebook PC graphics and multimedia, offering the industry's best balance of performance and great mobile characteristics.'' The RAGE Mobility family: ATI the first to bring true desktop features and performance to the notebook platform ATI RAGE Mobility graphics accelerators are designed to deliver industry-leading 3D, 2D and multimedia performance, and the most optimal balance of power and performance functionality currently available in a mobile graphics accelerator, packaged in a highly integrated, space-saving design. RAGE Mobility accelerators feature a unique ''single component graphics sub-system solution'' that replaces the need for over six individual chipsto provide memory and graphics functions. The single sub-system design results in important component cost savings, and low power consumption, twinned with long battery life for notebook computer systems. ATI's RAGE LT PRO provides a long list of industry firsts for mobile accelerators Both the Rage LT Pro and the Rage Mobility mobile graphics accelerators support a large desktop feature that allows data to be displayed on two screens for extra large spreadsheets, or documents. The 8MB of graphics memory on the Armada E700 and Armada M700 supports both the high resolution 14.1inch LCD display plus an external monitor up to 1600x1200 resolution. With VGA and TV outputs the Armada systems are equipped to present in any boardroom or corporate setting.
