Santa Clara, CA Ð New graphics cards have landed on the NEXTSTEP for Intel platform, and they pack a lot of power.
miro Computer, a subsidiary of the Braunschweig, Germany-based miro Computer Products AG, has introduced a line of miroCrystal graphics cards based on the S3 86C-series processors.
At the high end, the miroCrystal 32s offers 4MB of VRAM, 8- and 16-bit color at 1408 by 1024 pixels, and 24-bit color at 1024 by 768 pixels.
"The 32s allows you to run very high-res 24-bit color at a very high speed. It's the only recourse under NEXTSTEP for people with very demanding graphics applications," said Randall Stickrod, executive director of miro.
The miroCrystal cards start at $229 and run to $899 and come with a suite of bundled utilities. miro Computer can be reached at 408/727-1558, 408/988-2515 fax.
