“Penguin Computing is pleased to announce the release of the
world’s first Linux gaming computer. This system is based on the
latest high speed multimedia hardware and the most popular
commercial games available for Linux bundled together with the Red
Hat 6.1 Linux Operating System.”
“This is a revolutionary product, designed to bring the emerging
Linux game industry together with the world’s most reliable Linux
computer systems.”, said Sam Ockman, President of Penguin
Computing.”
“At its, core the system runs on the all new AMD Athlon 500
MHz processor. The base system also includes 128 MB RAM, to
help speed up the action. For screaming 3D rendering, Penguin
Computing has included the 3Dfx Voodoo 3000 16MB video card. To
fully appreciate the stereo sound effects and music of today’s
games, they have included the Sound Blaster PCI128 with the Yamaha
YST-MS50 Speaker system. With a 10 GB Hard Drive, there is plenty
of room to store games. The high speed CD will allow for smooth
viewing of those cut scene videos, and with a 3COM / USR 56K Modem
as an option, our customers will be equipped to engage others
online. And for those yet to be released flight simulators and
space combat simulators, the system includes the Logitech Wingman
Extreme Digital Joystick.”
