<<Why is Toshiba putting ZiVA on the motherboard of a notebook that doesn't have a DVD drive?>> It's probably easier for Toshiba to make one motherboard rather than many different versions -- and ZiVA can be used to decode MPEG1 (fast) from the CD-ROMs. Also, in line with JFiebs' comments, ZiVA can be used to decode MPEG1 or 2 that comes in on the USB ports or off of the hard drive. MPEG gets on the hard drive as data from the USB ports, downloads from the internet, copied from CDROM or floppy . . . You get the (moving) picture! And you just might want to upgrade to DVD-ROM later, even though you need a 20X CDROM now. Viva La ZiVA!
