Applica Multimedia

Key Benefits

Specifications/Requirements

The Applica Multimedia card is a PCI card that plugs into your PC and uses the PC's memory, CPU, and installed drives and peripherals to create a second PC.

The Applica Multimedia card has a built-in MPEG decoder, allowing playback of DVD and MPEG video titles. The Applica Multimedia card provides the video, audio, mouse, and keyboard support circuitry that you need to run this "second" networked computer. The card features a high performance graphic processor with 8MB of memory, an integrated sound card, and both SVGA and television output connections. The Applica Multimedia card uses standard VHS or RCA Video cables, and standard  PS/2 mouse, PS/2 keyboard, and audio cables.  

Although the product doesn't ship with the required cables, a user can obtain these from a computer store, or order them from this ApplicaNZ.

Applica Multimedia requires at least a Pentium-233 system running Windows 95 or 98, with 32MB of memory, plus another 32MB of memory for each user. We recommend, however using a 300-MHz Pentium or Pentium Pro system with 65MB of memory, plus 32MB of memory for each user. 

"Many people have an old 386 or 486 computer sitting around the house," says Warren Grieve, manager for ApplicaNZ, a division of Tech-Connection. "In 99 percent of these cases, they can take the monitor and keyboard and use that" with the Applica Multimedia card, Grieve says. All that's needed to turn the Applica Multimedia card into a second multimedia PC is a pair of speakers and a microphone.
