Paul, I haven't been keeping up with the details of the new video chips. But I can think of a pressing need for more CPU power in one area right now - I have been planning to digitize all my family home videos - and put them into CR-R disks which now cost just a buck apiece. I've tried this using my child's Sony VAIO computer but beyond 320x200 pixels the result is far from satisfactory on playback. I haven't tried to figure out whether the problem is in the recording or in the playback - but here is one application that many home users can use right now. After all who wants to rewind/fast forward through all the shaky hand held camera shots to get to truly important memories on tape? A second factor is that tape longevity is probably much less than a CD's (?). BTW the computer is a Pentium 233 (not a P II) I did a little bit of asking around and found out that the Matrox Rainbow runner claims to save at ~700x500 (max NTSC res) but I didn't want to spend another $400 to find out. Do you know where the problem is and who might benefit from this type of need?
