That is rather nice. But the price might be quite high and the performance
of a TMS34010 is not that exciting.

People might have heard about the QPDM Chip from AMD. There are companies
out there that provide excellent graphic controller boards for AT style
computer that use this chip. They are available in resolution from 
1280x1024x8 downwards. Pricing is $4000 and downwards. They come with
some drivers for known CAD programs and libraries to write code immediately.
