The Dell WorkStation 400 is Dell's first entry into the growinghigh-performance workstation market and incorporates the industry-standardMicrosoft Windows NT Workstation operating system and the latest IntelPentium II processors, including single or dual processors operating at300MHz and 266MHz speeds. The WorkStation 400 will be among the firstavailable workstations featuring the Pentium II 300MHz processor. The GLINT MX and GLINT Delta graphics processors from 3Dlabs accelerate awide array of 2D and 3D applications with outstanding price/performance -making the ELSA Gloria-L/MX the ideal choice for graphics professionalsusing 3D capabilities in their design, modeling and digital contentcreation applications.Ī Fortune 500 company, Dell Computer Corporation is the world's leadingdirect computer systems company, based on revenues of $8.7 billion for thepast four quarters. Information on Dell and itsproducts can be obtained through its toll-free number 1-80 or byaccessing the Dell World Wide Web server at GLINT Background Information Dell designs and customizes products and services toend-user requirements, and offers an extensive selection of peripherals andsoftware through the DellWare program. GLINT graphics processors provide workstation-class 3D functionality andperformance, fully-integrated with fast 2D Windows acceleration.GLINT-based boards support OpenGL(R), Direct3D(TM), Heidi(R) andQuickDraw(R) 3D. GLINT MX is the new high-end, scalable member of the GLINT family thatsupports high-resolution displays up to 2Kx2K at true color, seamless HDTVdisplay, large texture memories up to 48 Mbytes and deep 32 bit color & Zbuffers.ģDlabs merchant silicon products ship with an OpenGLInstallable Client Driver, providing highly-optimized and fully-compliantOpenGL performance, seamlessly integrated with Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R)and Windows 95. GLINT MX also accelerates 100% of OpenGL 1.1 rendering operationsin silicon – including Gouraud shading, advanced texture-mapping, per-pixelmip-mapping, tri-linear texture filtering, anti-aliasing, fog,transparency, overlay planes, multi-plane stenciling and alpha blendingwith destination alpha support. GLINT-based boards are typically used for accelerating professionalapplications such as mechanical CAD, multimedia authoring, geographicinformation systems and digital video editing. GLINT MX cards have beencertified for use with SoftImage 3D 3.7 and with Pro/Engineer Release 18.In addition the GLINT and PERMEDIA processors are the only chips that aresupported “out of the box” by 3D Studio MAX.įounded in 1994, 3Dlabs is a leading innovator and a fabless supplier ofhigh-performance graphics semiconductors, software and related technologiesdesigned to bring cost-effective 2D and 3D graphics to the personalcomputer. The Company has introduced eight 3D graphics processors over thelast three years with price, performance and functionality designed to meetthe demand for 3D on the PC, ranging from low-cost consumer to high-endprofessional market segments. The Company markets and sells its award-winning merchant 3D graphicsprocessors to PC and graphics board OEM customers and selectively licensesits embeddable graphics processor cores on a royalty-bearing basis tostrategic technology partners such as Texas Instruments. Companies using3Dlabs' graphics processors in their computers include Compaq, DellComputer Corporation, Digital Equipment Corporation, Hewlett-Packard,MaxVision, NEC, NeTpower, Siemens-Nixdorf and TriStar.
