AT&T GLOBAL INFORMATION SOLUTIONS CUTS PRICES 16% TO 33% ON GLOBALYST 580.DAYTON, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 13, 1995--AT&T Global Information Solutions (GIS) today announced price reductions of up to 33% on its already competitively-priced AT&T Globalyst 580 Pentium system. For as little as $1399, customers can immediately benefit from the performance of a 60MHz (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. Pentium-based PC. For example, the Globalyst 580 enables users to run business applications nearly twice as fast as on systems that support DX2 processor technology. Because it is designed around the Peripheral Component Interconnect See PCI. (hardware) Peripheral Component Interconnect - (PCI) A standard for connecting peripherals to a personal computer, designed by Intel and released around Autumn 1993. PCI is supported by most major manufacturers including Apple Computer. (PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). ) bus architecture, the Globalyst 580 is better able to support the higher bandwidth requirements Bandwidth requirements (communications) The channel bandwidths needed to transmit various types of signals, using various processing schemes. Every signal observed in practice can be expressed as a sum (discrete or over a frequency continuum) of sinusoidal of today's applications, allowing users to easily increase performance. In addition, the Globalyst 580 supports emerging Plug and Play standards, enabling customers to easily add functionality to their PC. "AT&T GIS has made the Globalyst 580 with integrated Vistium Share Software an even more attractive customer investment by reducing the already low price on this feature-rich personal computing Refers to users working on their own computers rather than a terminal to a mainframe.

Other key Globalyst 580 features include: o A 64-bit graphics controller, which delivers crisp images at resolutions up to 1280x1024 (with up to 256 colors) at refresh (1) To continuously charge a device that cannot hold its content. CRTs must be refreshed, because the phosphors hold their glow for only a few milliseconds. Dynamic RAM chips require refreshing to maintain their charged bit patterns. See vertical scan frequency and redraw. rates of 75Hz; o A graphics performance rated 22M WinMarks, producing flicker-free images that reduce eye fatigue and improve user productivity; o Integrated speakers and front panel controls for volume and mute and support of optional business audio; o Ability to upgrade the 8MB of standard RAM to 128MB, which is the largest available system memory of any system in this price/performance class; o AT&T GIS' Vistium Share Software Professional pre-installed on the system, allowing people to share and discuss information from their desktop computer.
