MODEL- 100-505150         VENDOR- A T I
    
FEATURES- FireGL V3100 (Visualization Series)- Bulk pack
       The FireGL Visualization series of workstation graphics accelerators 
        is designed specifically for the new, high-bandwidth PCI Express
        bus, and is architected to deliver unprecedented speed and image 
        quality for real-time visualization. True cinematic quality 
        rendering of complex geometry is now available for compelling 
        animation, visual effects, mechanical design and leading-edge 
        business communication. 
* Two Way Acceleration With ATI's Single-Chip PCI Express Solution
   The bridgeless, single-chip design of the FireGL native PCI Express 
   graphics processor fully engages all of the benefits of this 
   interconnect standard in the safest, most cost effective, and most 
   reliable transition from AGP. Unlike other  bridged  PCI Express 
   implementations, ATI's FireGL PCI Express products deliver full 
   bandwidth in both upstream and downstream directions, doubling the 
   capabilities of previous products.
* Compatibility And Stability
   ATI's FireGL cards -- whether PCI Express x16 lane or AGP 8X -- are 
   designed to accelerate 3D workstation applications based on OpenGL and 
   Microsoft DirectX 9.0. With full certification on the leading computer 
   aided design (CAD), architecture/engineering/ construction (AEC) and 
   digital content creation (DCC) applications, FireGL is the high 
   performance choice for graphics professionals working in Windows or 
   Linux based systems.
