It stretches my imagination to guess what 'significant' chips LSI will have in PSII if Toshiba takes over CPU and embedded graphics/video memory. What else can it be? Hardware MPEG-2 for DVD? Might be, but at this point I would not call that 'significant'. Or perhaps something that blows anybody's mind like cable-modem for networking/net access? That should be something that LSI can do but Toshiba can't; good IP stuff. If that is the case, that win is not only huge but very significant. Dreamcast if I remember right has modem included. If Playstation II will not be released for another 18 months (thanks to the links provided), cable modems should be quite widely available by then. Imagine playing networked games with your cousin who is all the way across the country for no extra charges at cable modem speeds and 1024x768 resolutions on a HDTV!! Wow!! That should blow everything away. Well, one can only hope. patrick tang
