Nice links. Here's an excerpt related to DVD: <<Also integrated into i740 is a dedicated video engine pipeline for DVD/software MPEG-2 support, and flash BIOS guarantees i740's BIOS will never go out of style. The architecture is flexible, with vendors having the option to add hardware DVD (via a card's VMI port), TV-in/out, and more. >> Note that hardware DVD is added via tha card's "VMI port." I'm not sure what type of interface VMI is (video module interface??), but it doesn't sound like AGP. i'll check intel's data sheet. Also note that the card supports video input. Wouldn't it be nice to have an add-in card with CUBE's MVP (and ZiVA)?
