MediaGX computer chips are going into webtop boxes That seems to be Cyrixes plan---to offer under an $1000 audio/video box with computer/internet and video capabilities. However the MediaGX I bought landed on a lawyer's desk. Just where it belongs. Sitting on my desk is a VGA equipped with a TV tuner. I watch CNBC while following PCQuotes and the Internet for stock info over the SAT. (Just wish the Koreans would break the 21" monitor market wide open. I need more screen space.) Guess I won't need the CNBC $99 toy will I? ======================= PS. I believe you can disable the video on the GX and add in your own VGA card. I just can't figure out why anyone would want to do that. If you want a Porsche you buy a Porsche. But you don't drive your Porsche to the supermarket, unless you like scratches, you drive your Honda. You get it? ======================= Watch the Won.

RAMBUS by another name??? TOKYO -(Dow Jones)- NEC Corp. said Tuesday it has developed memory core technology which enhances existing memory architectures, significantly improving computer performance. The Virtual Channel Memory technology, which requires no changes to input/output architectures, chip packaging or board design, is expected to double graphics performance and raise system performance by as much as 20% for personal computers, workstations and servers, the company said. The technology temporarily stores data in multiple channels between input/output terminals and memory cells, allowing a memory chip to prepare other data requests in a separate channel while it is reading or writing current data. NEC said it would begin authorizing use of VCM technology to a number of memory vendors in early 1998 without charging licensing fees. The company aims to make VCM a de facto industry standard, and expects to see more than half of all new memory products use the technology by 2000.... Greg

Paul, re: Intercast Thanks for the interesting article. It seems the PC is becoming a TV and the TV is becoming a PC (WebTV). Sometime in the future the two products will merge, let's hope the eventual winner will have an Intel chip at it's center. What has happened to the large flat thin screens that have been promised for so many years? I understand that they are still very expensive, but I believe they are a key element in making the PC a complete entertainment product. John
