***NVIDIA Quadro GPU Powers IBM IntelliStation Workstation
(January 17)

NVIDIA Corporation announced that IBM has selected the NVIDIA
Quadro workstation graphics-processing unit (GPU) as the order-
ready graphics accelerator for their IntelliStation workstations.
Based on NVIDIA's single-chip integrated QuadEngine transform and
lighting architecture, the Quadro-powered IBM Intellistation
workstations reset traditional price/performance bars for the
professional industry.

The Quadro is able to process more than 200 billion operations
per second, delivers up to 17 million triangles per second and a
texture fill rate of up to 540 million pixels per second. In
addition Quadro offers features demanded such as anti-aliased
points and lines, two-sided lighting, front buffer 3D clipping
and shared back-buffer support. NVIDIA Quadro-based products will
ship with Intel's next-generation Pentium III- and AMD Athlon-
optimized OpenGL drivers for Windows 2000, Windows NT and Linux.
