NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

1.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN

     The following description of the STB Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan 
     (the "Plan") provides only general information.  Participants should 
     refer to the Plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's
     provisions.

     GENERAL

     The Plan, established in 1991, is a nondiscriminatory defined 
     contribution plan for all employees of the Company who have completed six
     months of credited service and elect to participate.  The Plan is subject
     to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 
     (ERISA), and has been amended to incorporate legislative changes required 
     by the various tax acts enacted since 1984.

     CONTRIBUTIONS

     Eligible employees may elect to make contributions to the Plan by means 
     of compensation reductions of up to 15% of their compensation.  Employees
     may allocate their contributions to investment options in 1% increments.
     The Company matches 25% of each dollar of employee tax deferred 
     contributions up to a maximum of 4% of each employee's annual pay.

     PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

     Participants' accounts are credited with the participants' contributions 
     and an allocation of (a) the Company's contribution and (b) Plan earnings.

     VESTING OF CONTRIBUTIONS

     Participants' contributions to the Plan are 100% vested at all times.  
     Employer contributions to the Plan are vested in accordance with a Plan 
     document schedule based on the participant's length of service with the 
     Company.  The schedule provides for full vesting after five years of 
     credited service.

     INVESTMENT OPTIONS

     Eligible participants have five investment options including a Fixed 
     Income option, a Balanced option, a Growth stock option, an Aggressive 
     Growth option, and a Bond option.

     On February 14, 1995, participants in the Plan were granted a one-time 
     option to reallocate existing participant investment accounts to purchase
     STB Systems, Inc. common stock in conjunction with the Company's initial
     public offering which became effective February 14, 1995.

     The assets from a predecessor custodian remain with New England Company 
     as custodian and are included in Plan assets.  These assets are a prior 
     fixed income option.  No further contributions can be made to this 
     investment option.

     Participants may change their investment options daily.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

     PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

     In the event of a participant's termination of employment, retirement, 
     disability, or death, the participant or beneficiary may elect to receive
     an amount equal to the vested value of their account in either a lump-sum
     or periodic payments of substantially equal installments at least 
     annually.  At December 31, 1995, $6,076 remained in the Plan which related
     to an employee who withdrew from the Plan during 1995.

     PARTICIPANT NOTES RECEIVABLE

     Participants may borrow from their fund accounts a minimum of $1,000 up 
     to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested
     account balance.  All loans are required to  be repaid within five years 
     unless the loan is to be used for the purchase of a primary residence.  
     The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and 
     bear interest at prime plus 1%.  Principal and interest are repaid 
     through payroll deductions.

     FORFEITED ACCOUNTS

     At December 31, 1995, forfeited nonvested accounts totaled $1,869.  
     These funds were held in a Money Market account at December 31, 1995 and 
     will be used to reduce future employer contributions.

     EXPENSES OF ADMINISTERING THE PLAN

     The Company pays expenses incurred in the administration of the Plan, 
     except for expenses relating to assets held by New England Company which
     are paid by the participants.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

     The financial statements of the Plan are prepared in accordance with 
     generally accepted accounting principles.  Assets are stated at market
     value; unrealized appreciation and depreciation of the assets are 
     reflected in the asset balances.  Gains or losses on investments are 
     realized at the time of sale.

     FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

     Management believes that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of 
     the Internal Revenue Code and therefore believes the trust is exempt from
     taxation under Section 501(a).  The Internal Revenue Service granted a 
     favorable letter of determination to the Plan in October, 1993. Generally,
     contributions to a qualified plan are deductible by the Company when made,
     earnings of the trust are tax exempt, and participants are not taxed on 
     their benefits until withdrawn from the Plan.

STB SYSTEMS, INC. 401(k) SAVINGS PLAN 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

     Management is unaware of any variations in the operations of the Plan 
     from the terms of the Plan document as amended.  The Plan has complied
     with the fidelity bonding requirements of ERISA.

     VALUATION OF SECURITIES

     Valuation of securities is based on the last recorded sales price at 
     year-end, as reported by the principal security exchange on which the 
     security is traded.  Securities transactions are recorded on a trade-date
     basis.

     RECOGNITION OF INTEREST INCOME

     Interest is recognized on an accrual basis.

     DETERMINATION OF UNREALIZED GAIN OR LOSS ON INVESTMENTS

     Unrealized appreciation or depreciation in the fair value of investments 
     held at year-end and gain or loss on sale of investments during the year 
     are determined using the fair value at the beginning of the year or 
     purchase price if acquired during the year.

     REPORTABLE TRANSACTIONS

     For the Plan year 1995, the reportable transactions as defined in Item 
     27d and Part V of Form 5500 are listed in Schedule II, page 13.

3.   INVESTMENTS

     Investments are maintained by Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company as 
     custodian, except for assets from a predecessor custodian which are held 
     by New England Company.

     Investments representing 5% or more of net assets available for plan 
     benefits at December 31, 1995 were as follows:

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Participants and Administrator of the
 STB Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan 
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for 
plan benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets 
available for plan benefits of the STB Systems, Inc. 401(k) Savings Plan at 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for plan 
benefits for the year ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally 
accepted accounting principles.  These financial statements are the 
responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our 
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of 
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by 
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We 
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed 
above.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information included 
in Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is 
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is additional 
information required by ERISA.  Such information has been subjected to the 
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements 
and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to 
the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
