RE: <It would be a perfect enchancement to the Spitfire, but I do not know what Gigabit royalties would need to be.> Pravin, I agree, but I do see a drawback. Any system on a chip solution that AMD develops will immediately threaten their position as a "virtual gorilla" I am not being sarcastic or facetious. AMD has worked hard to develop collaborations with the graphics vendors and if they were to suddenly become a competitor rather than a collaborator that could seriously jeopardize their position with the same entities they rely on for support. I think that could be a big risk. Thanks, Epinephrine
