FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

FALL COMDEX 2002—LAS VEGAS, NV—NOVEMBER 20, 2002—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, and Alienware® Corporation, the leading manufacturer of high-performance computer systems, today announced that the NVIDIA® GeForce™4 family of graphics processing units (GPUs), including the GeForce4 Ti 4200 GPU, has been selected as the exclusive graphics offering for the launch of Alienware’s new Navigator line of ultra-compact PCs based on Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition. 

“This new product category demands the best possible combination of performance, features and software innovation, and our GeForce4 GPUs are perfectly designed to deliver a compelling mixture of high-end gaming performance and awesome DVD playback,” said Jeff Fisher, executive vice president of worldwide sales at NVIDIA.  “Consumers interested in purchasing a small form factor PC for integration into their home theater or family room should take a hard look at what Alienware is now offering in the Navigator.”

The GeForce4 GPUs help ensure that end users receive the perfect blend of performance and features for watching and recording TV, managing their digital media and playing their favorite DVDs, delivering the ultimate home computing and entertainment experience.

“With NVIDIA’s technology strengths, innovative software features, and end user loyalty, deciding what graphics to incorporate in our Navigator Media PCs was easy,” said Kevin Wasielewski, Vice President of Marketing for Alienware Corporation.  “Together, Alienware and NVIDIA are ushering in a new era of convergence, power and features for the connected, digital home.”

Consumers can be sure that the Navigator’s compact design won’t affect its ability to perform. The Navigator Pro is built with a 2.66GHz Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, 512MB of DDR memory and an NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 GPU-based video card, the same powerful components found in Alienware’s cutting-edge, award-winning gaming PCs.
