***Nvidia’s RIVA TNT Selected For HP Pavilion PC
(April 6)

NVIDIA announced that Hewlett-Packard Company has chosen NVIDIA’s
RIVA TNT 3D graphics processor as an option for the HP Pavilion
PC build-to-order program. The RIVA TNT is made available via the
Viper V550 from Diamond Multimedia Systems.

End-users can purchase the HP Pavilion PC, complete with the RIVA
TNT-based Viper V550, at Circuit City retail stores through an
electronic kiosk.

The build-to-order program began in the summer of 1998 and is
currently available nationwide at more than 500 Circuit City
stores. End-users are able to use the interactive kiosk's touch
screen to learn about, select and order a desired PC
configuration. Upon submitting the order electronically,
customers can expect the HP-built PC to be shipped directly to
them within approximately seven to 10 business days.

Diamond Multimedia's Viper V550 retail configuration, available
in AGP 2X and PCI versions, uses NVIDIA's RIVA TNT chip.
