I think they can make V1.5 into V2 w/out add'l purchases. They were just planning on eating up the current inventory. If they needed to, they were going to place one more order the convert the 1.5 chips to V2 chipsets. Can't they just take two V1.5 chipsets (two texelfx chips and two pixelfx chips), toss a pixelfx out and make a V2 chipset? Doesn't require any additional purchase. They kind of stumbled around this issue in the conference call, maybe because it would have made writing the inventory off a little odd looking. Simon
