Diamond is paddeling out now, so they can catch the wave next year......................................... November 03, 1997, Issue: 761 Section: Feature:CD-Rom Drives ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DMS banking on Maximum -- VAR packages from Diamond can include a 3-D card, or VARs can craft their own bundles. By William Terdoslavich San Jose, Calif. -- The path to DVD-ROM can sometimes be traced through the upgrade kit. That is the route Diamond Multimedia Systems Inc. is taking once again as it goes to market with its Maximum DVD upgrade kit. Diamond, San Jose, has gone the kit route once before, when CD-ROM drives were new to the market. As a result, the leap to DVD-ROM was not a great one for the company to take. Diamond has worked up several SKUs for VARs, said Ken Wirt, vice president of corporate marketing. VAR packages can include a Diamond Stealth 3-D card that can be connected to the decoder board; or they are available without the graphics board so VARs can craft their own bundles, Wirt said. "The decoder board has 4 Mbytes of RAM on it, which it uses for decoding," Wirt said. The kit does not require additional components for a PC upgrade. Suggested pricing for the Maximum DVD-ROM kit is $399. "It is important for the VARs and corporate IT to get a feel for DVD this year," Wirt added. "When the wave shows up next year, you don't want to be standing on the beach, but paddling out on the surfboard so you can ride it." Copyright (c) 1997 CMP Media Inc.
