That brings up another point. Many users would want various versions of OGD, where different options are added or not. For instance, we may have a video-in on OGD, but since OGA won't have that, then OGD can go without it. The problem here is that under certain circumstances, addition of a few dollars in parts can cost $100. This may sound extreme, and it is just a rough guess on my part, but if out of an order of 100 boards, only one gets the video-in part added, then one board has to be pulled and have the other parts added, or the assembly line would have to be reconfigured to add those extra parts to only one board from the beginning, which would make it REALLY prohibitive. And then there's testing (and the fact that we're not set up for testing yet), etc. On the other side, we may not be offering stripped down versions. Some people won't want the RAM on it, but unless the demand for that were really high, there wouldn't be any meaningful cost savings. Having different models has its challenges, but "throwing it all on there" is undesirable too. What do we do about this? :) _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
