| 30.08 - ELSA i3Di |
| ELSA anounced the following in a pressrelease today: 3Di-internet 3D interactive provides true three-dimensional display of web content on any PC Aachen, August 30, 1999-The latest innovation of the Aachen-based ELSA AG is about to provide a revolution in Internet display. The newly developed ELSA software, i3Di, soon to be shipped with the already successful REVELATOR 3D glasses, opens up a truly three-dimensional perception of the Internet to a wide circle of users. In time for the Internationale Funkaustellung (IFA), the consumer electronics show in Berlin, ELSA engineers have succeeded in visualizing three dimensional web content in a way that results in true spatial perception. ELSA thus for the first time provides the technical environment to experience the global Internet in an additional dimension and at consumer prices. During the past weeks the advanced technology of the ELSA 3D glasses has already been well received by the gaming community, providing the viewer with an image that appears to be truly three-dimensional. The Internet magazine "Tommorrow" describes the ELSA 3D REVELATOR in the current August issue: "These glasses could revolutionize the game world!" more about that here. |
| 29.08 - TNT2/Pro |
| The german magacine c´t published some details about TNT2/Pro in its News, so I can give you some information about that chip (without getting into trouble :-)). The TNT2/Pro is manufactured in 0.22 Micron. This allows less voltage and results in less heat and higher clockrates. The clockspeed of TNT2/Pro cards is 143MHz Core- and 166MHz Memclock. The new Erazor III Pro does also run at that clockspeed. The E3 Pro is close to Ultra speed - you can get it to Ultra speed with a bit overclocking without problems. If there will be 0.22 Micron Ultra chips is unknown yet. |

I was not surprised to find that the doors were locked and the lights were out inside of the Hercules building. It appears that there are no longer employees working inside. The parking lot was also vacant." |
