Unlike standard PC processors, NVIDIA GeForce graphics processors are designed to deliver smooth HD video, vivid pictures, and realistic 3D animation while increasing overall system performance in Microsoft Windows Vista and an increasing number of mainstream software applications such as Apple iTunes, Adobe Acrobat 8.0, Google Earth, Google Picasa, and Cyberlink PowerDVD.

NVIDIA graphics processors combined with the intuitive touch-enabled displays deliver a superior visual entertainment and ease-of-use in the following HP PC models:

* HP TouchSmart PC -- This first of its kind, all-in-one PC has a

touch-enabled 19-inch diagonal widescreen display and NVIDIA GeForce

Go 7600 graphics processor so users can enjoy a variety of entertainment

options with a single touch, including photos, radio, movies, music, and

the Web(1). The system also allows users to record, play, and pause live

TV.

* HP Pavilion tx1000 Entertainment Notebook PC -- This easy-to-carry,

convertible PC with a 12.1-inch widescreen display features an optional

integrated touch-screen that can swivel 180 degrees. The stylish,

lightweight notebook also uses an NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150 graphics

processor to enhance playback of DVDs and 3D applications.

"Microsoft Windows Vista is the first PC operating system that requires a graphics processor for the best user experience(2)," said Jeff Fisher, Senior Vice President of the GPU Business Unit at NVIDIA. "Consumers equipped with the new HP PCs with NVIDIA graphics processors will enjoy the new visual entertainment and productivity that Windows Vista has to offer."

NVIDIA graphics processors are designed to deliver and enhanced visual experience on the PC with features such as:

* Support for the latest games and applications with DirectX 9.0 Shader

Model 3.0 and film quality high dynamic range (HDR) lighting, enabling

more realistic, real-time gaming.

* H.264 hardware accelerated support through NVIDIA PureVideo(TM)

technology -- the combination of video processors and software delivers

a home-theater quality video experience to the PC.

* A high-performance 3D architecture built for new 3D applications and

Microsoft Windows Vista -- the industry's first operating system to

require a graphics processing unit (GPU) to realize its full

potential(2).
