Matrox Introduces PowerDesk for Mac

Software Features Enhanced Desktop Management Control Across Multiple Displays

Montreal, Canada, December 22, 2008 -- Matrox Graphics Inc. today announced the availability of PowerDesk for Mac, a new desktop management software for Graphics eXpansion Modules (GXMs) used with Apple Mac systems. PowerDesk for Mac improves how—and where—windows are arranged, making it easier to use multiple applications on a Matrox DualHead2Go or TripleHead2Go multi-monitor set up.

The PowerDesk software—which comes with an easy-to-use interface for setting supported GXM multi-display modes—offers time-saving features that eliminate the need to manually position applications on a multi-monitor configuration. With a keyboard shortcut you can move windows between monitors while maximizing a window to fit a single display. In addition, the Dock can be dedicated to the bottom left, center, or right hand side of your preferred external display.

"PowerDesk allows multi-taskers to comfortably manage numerous applications across many monitors," states Caroline Injoyan, Business Development Manager, Matrox Graphics, Inc. "By quickly cycling through and re-sizing windows, desktop space can be organized so you can focus on the task at hand, whether it’s to complete a work project or simply perusing your latest photo albums while surfing on the web.”

Availability
The PowerDesk for Mac software is available for download on the Matrox graphics driver support page. For more information on PowerDesk for Mac itself, please visit the Matrox website.

Marco's interest in computing and technology dates all the way back to his early childhood. Even before being exposed to the Commodore P.E.T. and later the Commodore 64 in the early ‘80s, he was interested in electricity and electronics, and he still has the modded AFX cars and shop-worn soldering irons to prove it. Once he got his hands on his own Commodore 64, however, computing became Marco's passion. Throughout his academic and professional lives, Marco has worked with virtually every major platform from the TRS-80 and Amiga, to today's high end, multi-core servers. Over the years, he has worked in many fields related to technology and computing, including system design, assembly and sales, professional quality assurance testing, and technical writing. In addition to being the Managing Editor here at HotHardware for close to 15 years, Marco is also a freelance writer whose work has been published in a number of PC and technology related print publications and he is a regular fixture on HotHardware’s own Two and a Half Geeks webcast. - Contact: marco(at)hothardware(dot)com
