Matrox Graphics has released new 64bit SE drivers for Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition, for the Matrox Parhelia, Millennium P-Series, QID and Millennium G-Series product families. The Matrox 64bit SE drivers support both AMD64 processors and 64bit Intel Xeon processors. With this release, Matrox continues its distinguished tradition of delivering high-quality, reliable and future-proof graphics solutions to professional markets, with real-world benefits such as increased productivity and efficiency.

'By making 64bit drivers simultaneously available for our PCI, AGP and PCI Express graphics products, Matrox is providing a broad set of graphics solutions to our professional users', says Dan Wood, Vice-President Technical Marketing, Matrox Graphics.

Windows XP Professional x64 Edition is designed to provide faster performance with increased reliability and flexibility for today's most demanding users, enabling them to run memory and calculation-intensive applications and processes more efficiently.

This new processor architecture can also run new 64bit applications as well as most existing 32bit applications for maximum flexibility on a single PC.

This allows customers to make the gradual shift to 64bit computing at their own pace while preserving current investments in 32bit applications.

From advanced computer-aided design (CAD), to digital content creation, to high-end visualisation and analysis, today's professional users are dealing with more complex problems and rapidly growing data sets that can benefit from the features of 64bit computing.

Availability of 64bit architecture will expand the computing experience for many professional users.

'Microsoft is pleased to be working with Matrox to deliver the 64bit computing experience to the industry', says Brian Marr, Senior Product Manager of Windows at Microsoft Corp.

'Our strategic relationship with Matrox helps facilitate the availability of 64bit computing to our business customers'.

'Having graphics providers, such as Matrox, offer products compatible with 64bit Intel Xeon processors allows us to offer our customers maximum flexibility for optimising capacity, performance, and business value across a full range of professional technical computing environments', says Jim Pappas, Director of Initiative Marketing in Intel Corporation's Digital Enterprise Group.

Matrox's renowned hardware and driver stability, long product life cycles, and market-leading multi-monitor technologies help professional users better-manage their work and realise productivity gains.
