Greg & Intel Investors - Intel NICs Are Used in New Compaq DeskPRO computers. Compaq is using Intel-based Network Interface Cards (NICs) in many of its new DeskPro computers. The additional revenue stream is starting to add up. Paul {=================================} biz.yahoo.com Wednesday September 9, 1:26 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Intel Technical Bulletin: Intel-based Network Adapters Offered With New Compaq Deskpro EN and EP Series PCs HILLSBORO, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 9, 1998--Intel today announced that Compaq's Intel-based Fast Ethernet NICs (network interface cards) are the standard offering in selected models of Compaq's new Deskpro EN Series PCs, embedded in all Deskpro EN Series Small Form Factor PCs, and an optional offering the Deskpro EP Series. The NICs represent the large majority of fast Ethernet NICs shipped in Compaq Deskpro Series PCs. The cards were the first products resulting from the Compaq-Intel Networking Alliance announced last September. The new Deskpro EN and EP Series offer Intelligent Manageability features to lower the total cost of ownership throughout the PC's life. The Intel-based Compaq NICs play a key role in delivering manageability features for new system setup, asset management and power management, as well as providing remote wake-up. These features are built upon industry standards for remote systems management, including DMI 2.0 and Wired for Management. In combination with Compaq's Intelligent Manageability software, the Intel-based network adapter enables centralized control of PCs by system administrators. ''Compaq 10/100 TX Intel WOL UTP NICs offer proven advanced networking technology for our Deskpro EN Series, as well as best-of-class price/performance for our Deskpro EP Series,'' said Ed Ellett, Director, Desktop Products and SMB, Compaq Computer Corporation [NYSE:CPQ - news]. ''The networking alliance between Compaq and Intel produced NICs that feature driver stability, driver compatibility and consistently high performance suitable for our complete Deskpro Series PCs.'' ''Compaq Deskpro EN or EP PCs with Intel-based Compaq 10/100 NICs are part of a complete, standards-based solution for customers interested in remote control and management of their networked PCs,'' said Greg Lang, business unit manager of Intel's Network Infrastructure Operation. The advanced management capabilities of Intel-based Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) technology incorporated by the Compaq 10/100 TX Intel WOL UTP Controller include a service boot agent for simplified new system setup, DMI 2.0 for inventory control and remote system diagnostics, Wake on LAN(tm) technology for remote off-hours maintenance, and ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface) for reduced power consumption. Designed to take advantage of these capabilities, Compaq's EP and EN Series PCs can be easily deployed and serviced remotely over the network from a central location. Compaq Fast Ethernet NICs are software compatible with other Intel-based NICs, including the Intel PRO/100+ Management adapter. Last month, Intel announced the PRO/100+ Dual Port Server adapter, another result of the companies networking alliance. Selected by Compaq for its highly integrated design and standards-based manageability functions, Intel Fast Ethernet is based upon its breakthrough single chip solution, the Intel(R) 82558 controller features a highly integrated design and standards-based manageability functions. In addition to compliance with the latest PC specifications, including Intel & Microsoft's PC'98, the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), and Wired for Management, the 82558-based Fast Ethernet chip dynamically self-tunes itself to the customer's network operating system using Intel Adaptive Technology. The world's ten leading PC Manufacturers offer Intel-based Fast Ethernet technology within their product lines.
