Requiem unveiling at Extreme Annihilation

Requiem unveiling at Extreme Annihilation lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

Requiem unveiling at Extreme Annihilation is another February 1999 item worth filing away, because the small notices often tell you where the industry is heading next.

The names attached here include Avenging Angel, LAN, Cyberathlete Professional League, CPL, and The CPL. The platform angle centers on PC. The hook is LAN and EAX. The hard numbers include The 3 and March 12th.

The hardware race is getting mean now. Every new board, driver, chip, and oddball peripheral is trying to be the thing that makes your rig feel less old by next week.
