HOUSTON, Feb. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Compaq Computer Corporation (NYSE: CPQ - news) today announced it will offer Evo Workstation customers an even greater variety of graphics solutions with the introduction of NVIDIA® Corporation's next-generation Quadro(TM)4 family of workstation graphics.
``With NVIDIA Quadro4 graphics, Compaq is expanding graphic capabilities for the complex 2D and 3D CAD, CAM and CAE application needs of Evo workstation customers,'' said Keith LeFebvre, director of Compaq's workstation and thin client business. ``This strengthening of our relationship with NVIDIA will allow us to offer the widest selection of graphics solutions to meet the application and budget needs of most any Compaq workstation customer.''
Compaq will offer NVIDIA's new Quadro4 750XGL and Quadro4 200NVS graphics cards with its Evo Workstations W4000, W6000 and W8000 in March, and will bring additional NVIDIA graphics solutions to market in the coming months.
``The Quadro4 generation sets a new standard for productivity by supporting multi-display configurations for every product in the family,'' said Jeff Fisher, senior vice president of sales for NVIDIA. ``The Quadro4 family, combined with Compaq hardware, gives engineers, designers and animators the premiere workstation they've been looking for.''
The Quadro4 750XGL is NVIDIA's mid-range offering, providing high-end features at an aggressive price, including a fully programmable graphics pipeline.
