S3 Graphics Launches new ChromeZone Community Site

Fremont, CA, November 21 2006 - S3 Graphics today announced the launch of their brand new community site http://chromezone.s3graphics.com titled "ChromeZone". The orientation of this new site is to offer the owners of S3 Graphics products a place to go for additional help. With a forum system, S3 Graphics enthusiasts can interact with each other through discussion, while obtaining help from S3 Graphics employees via the forum. The site also includes regular news updates about new S3 Graphics products and drivers.

Visitors to the site will also get to experience developer blogs written by employees of S3 Graphics. These articles will give people an insight to the types of issues a video card developer may come up against as new operating systems and new products are developed and released.

The new ChromeZone site will also give people a way to see what events S3 Graphics will be attending, as well as get all the relevant information for entry into a particular show or LAN event. Visitors can also view photo galleries from past events.

"In order for a company to know what their next step is, they must know where they're currently at. Some companies ignore what their customers are up against, and thus often have an unrealistic bearing of where they stand. It's good to see S3 Graphics is devoted to their customers and I am excited to see what S3 creates in the next few years." MAVIC from LanPartyNW.com

"We hope to give our users a place that they can feel comfortable to talk about the problems they are having with their product or give suggestions that they would like to see in the next driver release or product. We feel it is very important to show the users that we do care about their opinion, and without them, there would be no S3 Graphics." Chris Stevenson from S3 Graphics Developer Relations
