In September 1990, Acer acquired Altos Computer Systems, one of the top manufacturers of multiuser and networked UNIX UNIX Operating system for digital computers, developed by Ken Thompson of Bell Laboratories in 1969. It was initially designed for a single user (the name was a pun on the earlier operating system Multics). computer systems for commercial markets.

As a technology-leading company, Acer was one of the few manufacturers to announce and ship the world's first i486SX systems and the first to demo a 50MHz (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. multiprocessor system. With its unique technology, Acer is the only manufacturer to provide the ChipUp (TM) ungradeable technology to computer users. By inserting a single central processor unit (CPU CPU in full central processing unit Principal component of a digital computer, composed of a control unit, an instruction-decoding unit, and an arithmetic-logic unit. ), users can upgrade the system from a 20MHZ, i486SX system to 33MHz i486DX system, making it the most cost-effective means to increase system performance. After serving IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) for 20 years, Dr. Leonard Liu joined Acer in 1989.
