platform for graphics professionals. 3Dlabs(R), Inc. Ltd. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :TDDD TDDD Test-Driven Database Design (software development) ), the Workstation Graphics Authority, today announced that Dell is continuing its support for Wildcat graphics by offering the high-end Wildcat(R) III 6110 graphics accelerator in its Dell Precision Workstation 530. The workstations are powered by the latest Intel(R) Xeon(TM) processors and Intel 860 Chipset with 400 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. system bus, delivering high-speed, high-bandwidth system throughput to support the superior graphics of the Wildcat III 6110. The Wildcat III 6110 is based on Wildcat III technology, the third generation of 3Dlabs' award-winning Wildcat technology, which is widely acknowledged as the leading graphics technology for performance, features and quality in professional workstation applications. Engineered for optimum performance with today's multi-GHz processors, the Wildcat III 6110 is ideally suited for the dual-processor capable Dell Precision Workstation 530.

About the Wildcat III 6110 Wildcat III technology integrates geometry and raster operations into a single ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. , enabling the Wildcat III 6110 to deliver outstanding 2D performance, incomparable OpenGL 3D performance and the industry's most advanced professional feature set. The Wildcat III 6110 graphics accelerator supports the most widely accepted professional standards including OpenGL 1.3 and OpenML 1.0. Other new features include support for multitexturing, bump mapping and cube mapping. The Wildcat III 6110 is also equipped with twin DVI-I (DVI-Integrated) See DVI. outputs for dual analog, digital or mixed displays using Windows 2000 or Windows XP. The Wildcat III 6110 offers 128 MB of texture memory--twice that of currently available Wildcat II products--along with 64 MB of frame buffer and 16 MB of DirectBurst(TM) Memory, for an impressive total of 208 MB of on-board memory. Users enjoy the full advantage of this huge memory capacity because of the Wildcat III's increased memory bandwidth, which is also double that of current Wildcat II products.
