Based on the TI 34010 chip, this product offers 1024x768x4 resolution, dynamic zoom and pan, and graphics writing speed beyond anything heretofore seen. The heart of the board is the single TI chip; the thing should be cheap to produce, should not generate intense heat as previous efforts at serious PC graphics have. By this summer, there should be at least a dozen such products on the market for $500 or less, and the price of serious graphics monitors should tumble as more and more are produced. The only losers I can see in any of this will be the unfortunate purchasers of the new IBM machines, who will be stuck with 640x480 graphics until the day of judgement.
