Compaq Professional Workstations Graphics Product Positioning 11 The Compaq PowerStorm 600 graphics controller is available as a Premier solution on select Compaq Professional Workstation AP500, AP550, SP700 and SP750 models. For a complete overview of the features and functionality provided by the Compaq PowerStorm 600 Performance 3D controller, please visit: http://www.compaq.com/products/workstations/graphics/pro3d.html Compaq is also pleased to offer the ELSA GLoria II as a Select graphics solution for integration with the Deskpro Workstation AP250 and Professional Workstation AP550 and SP750 systems. The ELSA GLoria II AGP graphics controller is a powerful, high performance 3D graphics solution for Professional 3D users who require a rich feature set and the best balance of price and performance. In fact, the GLoria II offers better than two times the performance of the Oxygen GVX1 at a similar price point. Based upon industry leading chip technology, the QuadroTM Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) from nVIDIA , the ELSA GLoria II offers many key features including: uncompromising OpenGL performance, AGP 2X/4X support, high-resolution support in true color mode, optimized OpenGL drivers, and a unified frame buffer with 64MB of SDRAM. This unified frame buffer has the ability to support up to 24-bits double buffered with a 24-bit Z-buffer, 8-bit double buffered overlay planes, 8-bit double buffered alpha planes, and 8 stencil planes simultaneously. As such, the GLoria II suffers little performance degradation as model complexity or datasets are increased. The ELSA Gloria II is targeted at CAD, CAM, DCC, and GIS, solids modeling and visual data analysis applications requiring high performance and a full selection of hardware accelerated features.

This graphics controller delivers up to twice the performance of the previous Wildcat 4000 accelerators (Compaq PowerStorm 600) and is the OpenGL 3D graphics performance leader for demanding design, engineering, and DCC professionals who are working with large data models in real-time. In fact, the Wildcat 4110 Pro (along with the new Compaq workstations with Intel Pentium III and Pentium III Xeon 733 MHz processors, 840 core logic chipset) and are now the industry's leading graphics Windows NT workstation solution based on the SPEC Viewperf benchmark suite, outperforming all comparably configured Windows NT/Intel and UNIX/RISC workstations on the market today. The Intense3D Wildcat 4110 PRO is an AGP-Pro50 version the Wildcat 4110 and can only be installed in systems that have an AGP-Pro slot. The Wildcat 4110 Pro is the "single pipeline" version of the Wildcat Parascale™ architecture and includes a single geometry accelerator and single render engine. The Intense3D Wildcat 4110 Pro provides optimized support for OpenGL 1.2 under Windows NT 4.0 and incorporates support for both analog monitors and digital DVI-based flat panel displays, providing high performance with impressive display output flexibility. With its extreme performance, large memory configurations and impressive selection of hardware-accelerated features, the Intense3D Wildcat 4110 Pro is an excellent solution for the most demanding DCC, MCAD, Geoscience and visual simulation application environments.
