Tim, Re:>>"We have protyped a 32bit framebuffer, and not only would the typical game framerate decrease by 50%, but it would require us to charge $50 per chip instead of $30 to $35. In addition, it would have pushed back the V3 by X weeks/months."<< Ahhh, releases like that would sure be a welcome bit of quantification. Unfortunately it makes too much sense in the world of "selling the sizzle, not the steak". Thanks for the template of decision making, though. JF
