Another thing to consider is time to market. If we can get a chip ready without AGP several months in advance of one WITH AGP, guess what people are going to want. Plus, if we get enough revenue from the PCI version, we can use that to spin a 1.1 version that has bug fixes, some feature enhancements, better performance, and, of course, AGP. Remember, AGP isn't a priority for embedded systems. > > But there are lots > > of disadvantages to OGA; they're just ones we are willing to tolerate > > because we demand open source drivers. > > > Presumably the disadvantages are because OGA had to start from a > clean sheet of paper, and therefore will reach a basic usable condition long > before it can equal the performance of the closed-standard products it > replaces? I couldn't have said it better myself. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
