Diamond to develop AGP 4X Video Card

Diamond to develop AGP 4X Video Card lands in February 1999 as PC hardware makers keep pushing faster chips, cards, drivers, and gaming peripherals.

Diamond to develop AGP 4X Video Card 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 Diamond Multimedia Systems, S3's, Savage4, The AGP, and Furthermore. The platform angle centers on PC. The hook is LAN.

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.
