STB Introduces Free Electronic Distribution of Technical Product and
Pricing Information with Release of S.M.A.R.T. System Disk

New support program to provide product and pricing information at the click
of a mouse

Richardson, Texas (June 1, 1994)--STB Systems, Inc., today announced the
release of a new electronic information distribution system called
S.M.A.R.T. System. The new menu driven software will be offered free to
end-users, VARs, VADs, System Integrators and OEM customers who want one
source of product and pricing information for all their video adapter
needs.

S.M.A.R.T. System is an easy-to-use software program written to provide
instant access to a wealth of information on STB's entire product line.
The program comes on a 3.5" floppy diskette and is simple to install. Once
installed, the Windows-based application provides four main menu
categories: Products, Price Grid, Model Numbers and Frequency Scan Rates.
Each category has several sub-menus of product information.

For example, clicking on the Product menu will bring up STB's entire line
of products for the ISA, VL and PCI bus types. Next, click on one of the
product names and a screen pops up that lists a simple description of the
product, the part number, pricing information and a detailed chart showing
the maximum color depths and refresh rates offered at each resolution
supported.

Also included are additional menu buttons providing pathways to Benchmark
information, with full disclosure, and a Comparison feature that details
how the STB board selected stacks up against the competition. Video cards
are compared by resolution/refresh rates/color depth, memory
configuration, installation utilities, warranty information and suggested
retail price.

S.M.A.R.T. System is the result of a customer survey conducted to find out
what kind of information STB's customers need to make smart buying
decisions. "We have responded to our customers needs by offering them a
tool they can use to access simple, but accurate information on our entire
product lines," said Robert Hoskins, marketing communications manager.
"During our research we realized that many video buyers are confused by
various advertisements and marketing literature that touts misleading
benchmarks and incomplete product feature descriptions. We wanted a method
of providing concise product information on exactly what refresh rates,
color depths and resolutions our customers can expect when they buy a STB
video card. We are confident that the S.M.A.R.T. System will make it very
easy to accomplish this goal."
