Elmer, You can't plug graphics cards and lan controllers into a verilog simulator. I think the chipset people are still using hardware emulation. You can simulate anything you want if you have the compute bandwidth. We played simulated tetris on my last design database. Scumbria

You can't plug graphics cards and lan controllers into a verilog simulator graphics cards and lan controllers are also developped in verilog but simulating everything together could take too much time. Instead ones uses behavioral models for those blocks. IOW, you can stop at the level of PCI and model the rest in PLI. That way you can write behavioral code for your graphics card and modify a window on your machine to show the output of the simulated chip. You can put everything at RTL level in a single simulation; it is just a matter of cpu cycles needed. Muzo
