Hi Skeeter Bug; Finally found the link I needed to really get decent performance out of the Virtex chips: (It's a big PDF file:) ftp://ftp.xilinx.com/pub/documentation/M1/attrib.pdf I hate the Xilinx schematic capture tool. For better than 10 years these guys have been saying that synthesis is the way to go, in order to get better portability, but the synthesizers still are crappy, and always will be, compared to a human. The end result is that the company tries to hide the details of what goes on in their chips from the engineers. For most engineers, this is probably a good thing, but I like to use these things to their limits... I took a look at Xilinx's fundamentals, and I think it might be worth $35 per share in a few years or so, given these better chips. But I do think that ALTR is a better put candidate. Anyway, sounds like the printer is out of paper, bye. -- Carl
