The Mac Observer Spin: IXMICRO has been a stalwart supporter of the Mac offering high-end graphic solutions for years. Their 128-bit Twin Turbo 2D acceleration card was the industry leader for years, especially with the former clone manufacturers. While IXMICRO has also has a PC graphics card called the ix3D Ultimate Rez for PC, but seems poised to have more of a presence in the PC world. There is very little OEM development in the Mac world with Apple seemingly firmly committed to ATI, so a new focus on OEM sales can only mean a stronger push into the Wintel world. OEM sales are a very large portion of the Wintel world and IXMICRO will likely do very well. What is a good sign is their obvious efforts to reassure the Mac market that they intend to go on developing products for the Mac. Hopefully that commitment will include an element of profitability that will keep IXMICRO making the great products they have been making.
