THEALE, UK—OCTOBER 13, 2006—NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today announced that NVIDIA GeForce® graphics processing units (GPUs) featuring PureVideo HD technology are powering the outstanding HD DVD experience delivered on some of the latest HP consumer notebook PCs. The new PureVideo HD-equipped PCs from HP enable consumers to enjoy HD DVD movies with superb clarity in high definition (1).

HP Pavilion dv9000 Series Entertainment Notebook PCs with HD DVD on select models will be available at retailers in France, the UK, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates for Christmas.

“Consumers want a crystal clear, stutter-free HD movie experience, which is why PC manufacturers select NVIDIA GPUs with PureVideo HD technology,” said Scott Vouri, general manager of multimedia at NVIDIA.

NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology is available on select HP PCs with HD DVD, including the HP Pavilion dv9000 Entertainment Notebook PC. The new PCs feature a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT GPU with HDCP and PureVideo HD drivers.

“HP and NVIDIA are working together to bring new levels of digital entertainment to consumers,” says Fredrik Hamberger, director of product marketing, Consumer Personal Systems Group at HP EMEA. “NVIDIA’s PureVideo HD technology is enabling us to offer consumers incredible quality HD DVD movies on the latest HP consumer notebook PCs.”

PureVideo HD technology features hardware acceleration for decoding H.264, VC-1, WMV, and MPEG-2 movies that delivers precise images having up to six times the detail of standard DVD movies. The PureVideo discrete video processing core offloads the CPU and 3D engine of complex video tasks, freeing the PC to run multiple applications simultaneously.
