Dell & DVD

The drives are known to be flaky at first, especially on double-layered discs. This happened with the first 3200's.

Yes, LSI Logic supplies the MPEG-2 decoders for PCMCIA.

However, Dell and others will likely go with NeoMagic's graphics controller with 4 MByte of embedded DRAM and integrated MPEG-2 decoder. It makes a lot of sense for a notebook PC to do this. (Note how hot the PCMCIA card becomes after a 2hr movie!)
