John; If computer makers place the Ziva on the mother board, what would be the total cost of the BOM (let's assume $15 for Ziva)for hardware solution. Also, why there is not much talk about doing the graphic acceleration on software (2D, or 3D). The cost of graphic chips and DVD chip should be about the same. Also do you know what % of graphic chips are mounted directly on to the mother board vs adding cards? I taught I heard from Siii that 60% of their volume is to add-in card manufactures like DIMD, ATI, ... can we assume the same kind of model for DVD? thanks
