John, <one of the reports from Comdex made it sound like M$ was NOT looking for graphics integrated with the CPU. They said ATI or nVIDIA had the inside track on the graphics chip, and AMD the inside track on the CPU.> That's what Sharky's is saying too and that may be the undoing of Timna. For consumer box the 3D/graphics needs are quite high (given the standards set by the game guys). It is entirely possible that this may mean seperate graphics and CPU chips for the first generation gamebox. However, I do not see this precluding a SOC implementation. Chuck
