The private library in order the maximum to pull out efficiency of the video card “Voodoo” series for 3 dimensional graphics of the 3Dfx corporation (the program part). The application software of the game and the like calling, you use. At the beginning it stood predominantly by handiness and expression power in comparison with Direct3D which is the library for 3 dimensional graphics of the Microsoft corporation, but the predominance has faded recently. It was the commercial business software which is attached to the Voodoo series, but, the 3Dfx corporation in 1999 December, to open source converting Glide, announced that it makes the free software.

It was standardized, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-TS) with as “G.992.2” in 1999 June technical specification of simple type ADSL.

But as for ADSL to be already wide using the telephone line which has spread in general home, high speed the technology which does digital communication, with former standard in order to avoid the interference of the aural signal, you must install the equipment which is called [supuritsuta] in member's house, it had become the primary factor which pushes up the production cost of modem.

In G.Lite specification, transmission speed it descended and (central telephone exchange -> member's house) 1.5Mbps and the rising (member's house -> central telephone exchange) by restricting in 512kbps, without installing [supuritsuta] it reached the point where it can do communication.

Simply, appointing the same timbre, when condition of sound differs delicately depending upon the sound source manufacturer, it is, it is with cannot call compatibility completely between the manufacturer.
