Matrox Graphics, a manufacturer of professional graphics solutions, announces the Matrox QID LP PCIe, the industry's first x16 PCI Express graphics card for up to four displays at a time.

Providing extra reliability and performance, this card has a single Matrox-designed graphics chip to control displays and to support x16 PCI Express natively.

"For mission-critical, multi-display applications like computer-aided dispatch, process control, and security monitoring, users want the quality, features, reliability, and support provided by Matrox, the industry-leader in multi-display technology." The Matrox QID LP PCIe includes 128 MB of graphics memory and supports resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 per display.

Matrox products also have features essential for mission-critical environments, including hardware with high MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure), Matrox FanAlert software for added system security, long product runs, and support for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP.

Display drivers for the Linux and Sun Solaris x86 operating systems will be available as upgrades.

Pricing and availability: The Matrox QID LP PCIe graphics card will be available in March 2005 at a list price of $799.
