	Regarding how much memory is enough, consider a cpu sharing
	ram with a video coprocessor. Let each video frame consist of
	1000x1000 pixels with 3 color planes for each pixel. Each color
	plane consists of 1 byte.  This gives you 3 Mb per frame! At this
	rate, you can use memory pretty fast.  I think such resolution is
	a realistic expectation in the near future (10 years). Whether
	any existing integrated processor can update the frames fast
	enough for useful video is another question.
