Abstract :
New, improved processing, storage, manipulation, and display systems that can handle enhanced graphics are discussed. In addition to performance-boosting chip sets that are architecturally compatible with the CPUs and the coprocessors they replace, the latest offerings include boards that introduce new architectures to existing systems. To open up systems, board manufacturers are making their products more compact and capable. A table giving the cost and features of a sizable sample of add-on boards and peripherals is provided
