Alienware PC to use PGC Technology is the latest item crossing the POCG news desk. System builder Alienware PC will be the first company to license its Parallel Graphics Configuration (PGC) technology.

Alienware, renowned for its award winning ultimate gaming systems, will be the first company to provide the PGC technology to the consumer. The initial implementation of the technology will be combining two 3dfx Interactive Voodoo3 2000 PCI cards in one system. There are plans in place to expand the offering to other graphics cards as well. Preliminary benchmark figures for this configuration on a Pentium II 450 MHz system with 64 MB RAM, without over-clocking, is 55 frames per second (fps) when running Quake2 at 1600×1200.
