Founded in 1989, S3®Incorporated pioneered graphics accelerate
on with the world's first single-chip graphics accelerator, significantly
improving the performance of the personal computer (PC). Over
the next 10 years, S3 went on to become one of the world's largest
suppliers of graphics and video accelerators by consistently delivering
leading-edge technology and establishing strong relationships
with top tier add-in card and PC manufacturers. In September 1999,
S3 made a significant strategic shift by acquiring Diamond Multimedia

and home networking solutions, PC graphics and audio add-in boards,
and innovative Internet appliances. In addition to gaining immediate

networking markets, the Diamond acquisition enables S3 for the
first time to become a branded, total solutions provider (silicon,

space. With comprehensive technology, powerful distribution channels,
established brand names and strong financial resources, S3 is
now among the most powerful, diverse forces in the PC industry
today.
