Alex, <I still don't see what advantage it has over an add-in board.. The only thing I can see is lower cost for an OEM to
produce a "3D System",>
You have answered this question yourself. There is no
economical reason to move all 3-D pipeline stages to a
totally self-contained 3D processor - the CPU could do
some usefull job besides interrupt processing from a mouse.
Such a 3-D system is more "balanced".

Another reason is that when leaving the geometry processor at
the CPU side, you probably have more flexibility in 3D-scene
generation.

Regards,

Ali
