ADVANCED GRAVIS SETS THE DIRECTION IN PC SOUND WITH ULTRASOUND(tm)

Advanced Gravis has concluded that wave table synthesis is the future of
sound in the PC industry.  According to Grant Russell, President of
Advanced Gravis "Sound for personal computers will migrate quickly from
the current technology to wave table synthesis.  This is the technology
now accepted as the minimum standard for music synthesis in the
professional music industry but has not been widely available to PC users
due to its cost.  Advanced Gravis has developed a significant leading
edge in bringing this technology, including 3D sound, to the consumer at an
affordable price.  Advanced Gravis is committed to the objective of
making Ultrasound Technology the premier sound card technology for
the IBM PC for business and entertainment applications."

Advanced Gravis is aware that Logitech has announced their SoundMan 16,
IBM PC sound card.  The Logitech sound card is not based on Advanced Gravis'
UltraSound Wave Table Synthesis Technology.  Logitech's sound card is
based on FM synthesis technology which is still utilized by most
major sound card manufacturers.  While FM synthesis is not generally
acknowledged as being capable of producing professional music
synthesis like the Gravis UltraSound card, it is today considered a
standard for PC entertainment market.

Although Logitech holds a substantial ownership interest (currently 43%
with rights to increase to 64%) in Advanced Gravis, according to David
Reid, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Advanced Gravis, both
Logitech and Advanced Gravis make independent decisions as to how
their products are marketed and sold.  Logitech is not obligated to
market Advanced Gravis products.  All distribution terms are negotiated
on an arm's length basis, and continue in place as long as both parties are
satisfied with the arrangement.  Advanced Gravis maintains an
independent sales and marketing channel and views Logitech as an important
additional distribution channel for the products they determine to
carry in their line.  Logitech will continue to market the complete line
of Advanced Gravis products including UltraSound in Europe and in other
selected accounts.

According to Pierluigi Zappacosta, President of Logitech, "We are pleased
with the performance and growth of Advanced Gravis as a leader in PC-based
entertainment products.  Advanced Gravis' leadership and technological
innovation with products such as UltraSound provide today's industry
with powerful and trend-setting tools facilitating long-range market
success."

Advanced Gravis is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality
entertainment devices for personal computers, including joysticks,
PC GamePads, MouseSticks, and UltraSound.
