Buying computer hardware can be confusing--not only do you need to worry about performance and price, but you also want assurance that it will work well with your current system, as well as with tomorrow's. Now's the time to learn how to shop.

Citing continued weakness in worldwide manufacturing, the Needham, Mass.-based company said it expects revenue for the second quarter ending March 30 to be about 5% to 10% lower than the $208 million consensus estimate.

The Synergy4 boards are based on NVIDIA's Quadro4 550 XGL professional graphics processor. The card features a unified memory architecture that dynamically allocates memory between graphics subsystems such as the frame buffer, texture memory and vertex memory. This second-generation Lightspeed Memory Architecture™ (LMA) II load balances across NVIDIA's patented crossbar memory controller for optimal memory bandwidth usage.

The Gloria4 boards are based on NVIDIA's Quadro4 (700,750, and 900) XGL professional graphics processors. The new graphics accelerators offer a combination of dynamic memory bandwidth management, highly optimized OpenGL® and DirectX® drivers, the industry's most efficient occlusion culling and an architecture that renders an astonishing 60 million lit, shaded and trilinear-textured triangles per second. The ELSA GLoria4 Quadro4 900XGL has reached an undisputed world record with a ProCDRS score of over 100.

ParaVista is a state-of-the-art visualization software system that operates on an entire set of parametric analysis data files rather than just a single steady-state solution. For visualizing parametric data, ParaVista replaces the tedious process of paging through several individual plots with the ability to interactively fly through the parametric data space while viewing the results.

ParaVista 1.0 gives engineers doing parametric studies the ability to visualize their design analysis results in a more efficient and comprehensive way than previously possible.
