By DE Editors

NextComputing (Nashua, NH) announced the addition of NVIDIA’s Quadro FX 5600 graphics board by PNY Technologies, Inc. (Parsippany, NY) to its lineup of ultra high-performance cards offered in conjunction with two of the company’s flextop computer models, the NextDimension Evo and Evo HD.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 graphics boards deliver optimized application performance. Combining an advanced feature set, including large frame buffers, with a C programming environment, Quadro solutions can solve the most complex problems. The reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, the Quadro FX 5600 enables next generation applications with unprecedented image quality. A NextDimension Evo or Evo HD supporting an NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 also includes up to two dual-core AMD Opteron processors, 16GB RAM, over 2TB of storage, and internal DVD /RW. The integrated widescreen display (1920 x 1200) of the Evo HD model allows native HD video playback, and both models support external monitors.

In a previous announcement, NextComputing expanded the PCI Express options for its flextop computers, the NextDimension Evo, to enable full graphics broadcast capability from remote locations.

Configurations of a NextDimension Evo and Evo HD include up to two dual-core AMD Opteron processors or two Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors, 16GB RAM, more than 2TB of storage, and internal DVD/RW. The modular, high-performance system is about the size of a briefcase and is designed for broadcast and digital media applications requiring high-end processors and graphics. The integrated widescreen display (1920 x 1200) allows native HD video playback, and both models support external monitors. PCI options include one dual-width PCIe slot and one single-width PCIe slot plus one factory access PCI-X 64-bit /100MHz slot, or with Intel processors only, three single-width PCIe slots plus one factory access PCI-X/64 100MHz slot.
