Technology, On ADVAN'S TFT-LCD Flat Panel Monitors. Attendees of this year's ITEC trade shows in Austin (December 2-3) and San Jose (December 15-16) will have the opportunity to view the 3-D Computing Platforms such as video games, realistic scenery, physical modeling, geometry and other Windows(tm)-based 3-D applications in the way the software developers envisioned them - with stunning ultra-bright clarity. ADVAN a rapidly growing supplier of TFT-LCD Flat Panel Monitors and AMD, a supplier of integrated circuits (ICs), flash memory devices and communications and networking products, will partner at both ITEC trade shows to demonstrate the dazzling visual power of 3-D processing as viewed on ADVAN's TFT-LCD Flat Panel Monitors. AMD will be demonstrating its K6(tm)-2 processor with 3DNOW (tm)! technology, designed to deliver the leading 3-D graphics acceleration with the most realistic renderings available in personal computing today. PC manufacturers who feature the AMD-K6(R)-2 processor with 3DNOW! technology include IBM, Compaq, Hewlett Packard, Packard-Bell NEC, CTX, Acer, Fujitsu and Cybermax. ADVAN, who has earned a reputation in the Channel for delivering high quality and value within its TFT-LCD Flat Panel Monitor Line, will partner with AMD in displaying its products at the Austin and San Jose ITEC shows. "I believe the industry is migrating in two ways that relate directly to ADVAN and AMD's' strategies: from CRT to Flat Panel, and from the 2-D to 3-D visual computing platforms," explained AMD's Thomas A. Knapp, Channel Marketing Manager, enterprise computing. "This partnership highlights the strength of both technologies relative to the 3-D visual computing platform that is evolving in the industry." Barry J. Lebu, Managing Director for ADVAN, added: "Demonstrating the amazing visual effects of 3-D computing on a CRT is like watching a video tape on a Home Theater System, in lieu of a Laser Disk or DVD Disk - you miss a lot. The TFT-LCD Flat Panel Monitor, with its high resolution and bright qualities, are the perfect medium for viewing the new powerful 3-D platform that AMD has created."
