Bah!  I meant to copy the list on that question.

Thanks for the answer though. Maybe someone else can also help clarify? I thought fpga were basically PLDs and that they worked exactly the same. I didn't know they lose config without power and need to be reprogrammed.

As far as I understand it is like RAM: It looses state if it looses
power. So it will have to read its config from some storage to start
working.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPLD:

Non-volatile configuration memory. Unlike many FPGAs, an external
configuration ROM isn't required, and the CPLD can function
immediately on system start-up.

Ok... So how many times can you reprogram it before it wears out?

Like flash has a max number of times it can be written and eprom and
eeproms did... What's that number for FPGAs?

 You cannot use them simultaneously, but you can change set in 10 ms.
