Whoa! TDDDF is up more than 30% today on the following story: Gateway Now Shipping E-5200 and E-5250 Windows NT Workstations With Oxygen GMX to Augment Range of High-End Graphic Solutions SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jan. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- 3Dlabs(R), Inc. (Nasdaq: TDDDF) today announced that Gateway (North Sioux City, SD) (NYSE: GTW) has selected the 3Dlabs Oxygen(TM) GMX graphics accelerator board as the high-end option for their E-5200 and E-5250 Windows NT(R) workstations. Equipped with Intel(R) Pentium(R) II or Pentium II Xeon(TM) 450 MHz processors, the Oxygen GMX-powered Gateway E-5200 and E-5250 workstations are designed to meet the demands of graphics professionals using 3D modeling, animation, digital content creation and CAD/CAM/CAE applications. "Gateway continues to strengthen its presence in the workstation market by selecting high-performance products such as Oxygen GMX to be included in our workstation systems," said Keith Karlsen, director of enterprise products at Gateway. "3Dlabs' engineering expertise and immediate response to our customers' requirements enable Gateway to effectively address the evolving needs of the professional market."

"This further underscores 3Dlabs' OEM momentum, with Oxygen GMX becoming the industry standard for professional graphics users seeking high-end value and performance." Oxygen GMX Information Oxygen GMX is the latest high-end member of the Oxygen family of 3D graphics accelerator boards for Windows NT workstations. Based on 3Dlabs' GLINT(R) GMX 2000 chipset, Oxygen GMX accelerates the complete OpenGL(R) geometry, lighting, and rasterization pipeline on a single AGP card. The on-board GLINT Gamma(TM)geometry processor provides 2Gflops of processing power to boost the interactivity of complex models and scenes by up to 400%. Oxygen GMX has a peak geometry throughput of 3.3 million lit, transformed polygons-per-second (50% backface removed, Gouraud-shaded, 32-bit color and Z) and delivers up to 66 million mip-mapped pixels-per-second fill rates. Oxygen GMX performs high-precision, sub-pixel accurate rendering, including full 32-bit Z-buffering. With 96MB of on-board memory Oxygen GMX supports true- color high-resolution displays up to 1920 x 1080 with over 24MB of local texture storage. Oxygen GMX has been shipping since September 1998. ================= Ticks me off that 3Dfx _still_ hasn't gotten any bounce from Banshee's in Gateways yet. Chip coolhistory.com
