APPIAN'S MULTI-MONITOR BOARD CERTIFIED FOR WINDOWS 98.

Appian Graphics, Redmond, Wash., a leading supplier of multiple monitor display cards, has become the first to receive Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) Windows 98 certification for its latest multiple monitor board, the Jeronimo Pro.

Established by Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) over two years ago, WHQL tests Windows based hardware to identify superior products for use in Windows operating environments. Appian's high performance 2D/3D multiple monitor board, Jeronimo Pro, met the high standards necessary for inclusion in this prestigious group, demonstrating its ability to increase the effectiveness of multiple monitor support in Windows 98.

"Earlier this year the Jeronimo Pro became the first multiple monitor graphics board to receive Microsoft 95 and NT WHQL certification," said Lisa Epstein, Appian Graphics' Product Manager. "Today Appian Graphics continues its commitment to excellence receiving the first Windows 98 WHQL endorsement for a multiple monitor graphics board."

The Jeronimo Pro is a high performance 2D/3D multi-monitor card that truly delivers the multi-monitor promise of increased productivity. According to independent benchmark tests, the Jeronimo Pro is twenty-five to forty percent faster than other dual monitor cards in its class.

Market leader Appian Graphics specializes in designing, manufacturing, and marketing award winning, high performance multiple monitor display cards for information intensive markets such as computer aided design (CAD), financial, software and multimedia development.
