CompStation and CompServer builder Tatung Science & Technology Inc, Milpitas, California has some new graphics options for Sparc system users, which it says Sun currently does not supply. It has Turbo GX and Turbo GX+ accelerators with 2Mb or 4Mb video RAM which are claimed to perform 440,000 three-dimensional and 1m two-dimensional vectors per second. Sun offers only a 4Mb TurboGX+ option. The 2Mb and 4Mb versions of Tatung’s TurboGX+ are $2,300 and $2,800 respectively. TurboGX is from $2,000. Memory module upgrades are available to move from 2Mb to 4Mb. Meanwhile, Newbury Park, California-based Integrix Inc claims its new TGX100 and TGX120 Sbus graphics accelerator boards offer up to three times the performance of Sun Microsystems Inc’s standard GX board. They cost $1,600 (with 1Mb RAM) and $2,100 (2Mb RAM) respectively, against Sun’s GX list price of $2,200.
