Check out what National is going to be doing.... looks like this is the el cheapo of the graphics markets to come... National Finally Names System-On-A-Chip Device ..... The MediaPC is being touted as a $100 piece of silicon for use in sub-$500 PCs, set-top boxes, and game machines. The first device will combine a 266-MHz Media GXM processor, north and south bridges, MPEG-2 audio/video hardware for DVD playback, and a 56-Kbit/s modem. A 2D graphics accelerator and dedicated microcontroller and DSP support are included as well, as are USB, PCI, and ATA-33 bus connections. A version integrating 3D graphics, based on the soon-to-be-released Cyrix MXi processor, is planned for late next year. pubs.cmpnet.com
