PRODUCT

DIAMOND SupraMax PCI LE 56K Modem

PRODUCT DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Diamond Supra unleashes the highest performance SupraMax modems with newly adopted ITU, V.92 and V.44

 

compression standards.

 

SupraMax gives you the advantages of extensive analog access to the Internet with an added boost of speed over earlier

 

standards. These improvements includes accelerated upstream data transfers (up to 40% faster), faster Internet dial-up

 

connection times using an intelligent start-up sequence, and advanced compression algorithms that let you send common

 

file type (such as HTML, e-mail, and executable files) more efficiently. The new Modem-On-Hold feature lets you receive

 

incoming voice calls without dropping your current modem connections. And, because the SupraMax V.92 is backward

 

compatible with V.90 and earlier standards, you can relax and enjoy faster Internet speeds without worry. (For more

 

information on V.92 features, please see below.)

 

WHAT IS V.92?

 

V.92 is an International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard for analog modem connections, a new improvement

 

over the existing V.90. Though the top speed for downloads is still 56K, V.92 has a number of enhancements.

 

WHAT FEATURES ARE INCLUDED IN V.92?

 

There are four important benefits to the V.92 standard; Quick Connect, Modem-on-hold, PCM upstream and V.44 data

 

compression.

 

Quick Connect - by reducing the amount of time it takes for the modem and server to handshake, connect time is reduced

 

dramatically. Instead of taking around 25 seconds to connect, this may be reduced to 8 seconds.

 

Modem-on-hold - the end user can put the modem on hold and stay connected to the Internet. The user can take an

 

incoming voice call, or even place a call while still connected. When the call is through, the end user can resume Internet

 

activities without having to re-dial and connect.

 

PCM upstream - increases maximum upload speed to 44 Kbps.

 

V.44 - a new standard for data compression specifically for HTML (normal website), text and other common file types, for

 

faster downloads. Throughput can increase up to 30-40%. This will supercede the current V.42bis standard.

 

WHAT IS REQUIRED FOR V.92 AND V.44

 

Your ISP carrier must provide support for V.92 and V.44 compression. Please consult with your ISP for details.

PCI LE specifications

Diamond Multimedia PCI LE is a graphics card that has carved out a niche in the competitive landscape of computer hardware. Designed for users who require stable performance for multimedia applications and light gaming, the PCI LE model successfully balances affordability with functionality.

One of the main features of the Diamond Multimedia PCI LE is its adherence to the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) standard, which allows it to be installed into a wide range of motherboards. This compatibility ensures that users can easily upgrade their systems without the need to invest in new hardware, making it a cost-effective solution for enhancing graphical capabilities.

The PCI LE is equipped with a dedicated video memory, enhancing its performance when handling graphics-intensive tasks. This feature is crucial for applications like video playback and basic gaming, where sufficient memory can significantly improve visual quality and frame rates. The card typically includes support for various video output options, such as VGA and DVI, which cater to diverse monitor setups. This flexibility is essential for users looking to connect their systems to multiple displays or high-resolution monitors.

From a technological standpoint, the Diamond Multimedia PCI LE leverages older but reliable graphics technology, allowing it to run a variety of multimedia applications smoothly. It is particularly well-suited for users who utilize their computers for standard tasks such as video streaming, basic photo editing, and office applications. While it may not support the latest gaming titles or high-end graphic processing requirements, it excels in providing an accessible and stable user experience for everyday computing needs.

Another characteristic worth noting is the energy efficiency of the PCI LE. Unlike some modern graphics cards that consume a significant amount of power, this model is designed to operate within a lower power envelope. This not only contributes to lower electricity bills but also reduces the amount of heat generated within computer systems, which can lead to more reliable performance over time.

Overall, the Diamond Multimedia PCI LE is an excellent choice for users seeking a straightforward, cost-effective solution for enhancing their computer's graphical performance. With its solid feature set, compatibility with various systems, and energy-efficient design, it remains a viable option for those engaged in standard multimedia tasks and light gaming.
