	I presume you don't want the TBP9928 (assuming it's still made).
The all-in-one video chips are usually for low performance applications,
and Commodore makes several different kinds; 8562 is NTSC 320x200 
pixels (or 40 col/25 row text) with 8 sprites; 8360 is similar
with more colors (121).  Both do transparent DMA to DRAMs, and
generate CAS and RAS signals for direct connection.
