Microway Certified to Offer 3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm 500 Graphics Accelerator in WhisperStation(TM) Workstation Line; WhisperStation offers Affordable, High-end Performance in an Ultra-quiet Environment.KINGSTON, Mass. -- Microway(R) today announced that their WhisperStation(TM) line of ultra-quiet workstations has been certified by 3Dlabs(R) to include Wildcat(R) Realizm(TM) 500 professional graphics accelerators. 3Dlabs Wildcat Realizm 500 is a powerful, PCI (1) (Payment Card Industry) See PCI DSS. (2) (Peripheral Component Interconnect) The most widely used I/O bus (peripheral bus). Express-based professional graphics solution that provides high-end performance at a mid-range price for CAD and DCC (1) (Direct Cable Connection) A Windows 95/98 feature that allows PCs to be cabled together for data transfer. DCC actually sets up a network connection between the two machines. professionals. 3Dlabs, Inc. Ltd, is a leading innovator in professional visual processing and is a wholly owned subsidiary Wholly Owned Subsidiary A subsidiary whose parent company owns 100% of its common stock. Notes: In other words, the parent company owns the company outright and there are no minority owners. of Creative Technology Ltd. Wildcat Realizm 500: High-end Performance at a Mid-range Price The Wildcat Realizm 500 features advanced VPU VPU Video Processing Unit VPU Vice Presidential Unit (World Bank) VPU Vicaría Pastoral Universitaria (Santiago, Chile) VPU Vulnerable Prisoner Unit (UK) capabilities along with 256 MB of onboard graphics memory to deliver high-end performance and features at a price that's comparable to mid-range graphics accelerators. When combined with a WhisperStation workstation, CAD and DCC design professionals will benefit from the power of the PCI Express interface. In addition, Wildcat Realizm is certified on all major design applications. "3Dlabs is pleased to recognize Microway as a certified Wildcat Realizm 500 System Integrator," said Jerry Peterson, executive vice president and general manager of 3Dlabs. "Detailed projects demand all a designer's attention. Wildcat Realizm 500's performance and exhaustive hardware and software certification combined with the ultra-quiet WhisperStation workstation is a great solution. Designers get 'peace and quiet' and 'peace of mind.'" WhisperStation offers Ultra-quiet Performance The innovative WhisperStation workstation combines the power of dual-core AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron or Intel Xeon processors with ultra-quiet performance to give designers all the computing power needed to run the most demanding applications, without distracting system noise to interrupt their concentration. Microway has provided state of the art solutions for demanding graphics applications since 1982. "We developed this workstation for a group of power hungry design engineers at a Fortune 500 automotive firm who needed a peaceful environment for total concentration," said Steve Fried, Microway's president and chief technology officer. "Our design team built a powerful, noise-dampened system to provide the ultimate in 64-bit performance at a reasonable price. This system meets the noise reduction challenge, yet still provides a well-cooled environment for these high performance CPUs and the Wildcat Realizm 500 graphics accelerator. When I show it to visiting customers, their most common reaction is: 'Is it on?'"
