Sorry I forgot to add, keep an eye on the new multimedia chipsets coming
out on Q1 1996. One of the cool multimedia chipset is the MPACT :
http://www.mpact.com
Just one of these babies can do upto 2 billion instructions / second and
I think that Chromatic is going to sell the chips for $150 each.
I am still walking around in a daze just thinking about four mpact chips
on a single board 8)
Enjoy,
Amancio
