You can thus understand the "+" as a board with the OGC chip, the low CPU and so on, which I called a "g-card", and what you call a x-video server. So, this board is inside the flat panel and removable.
A clueless consumer like me would consider this board as a graphical-card, just because he can remove it like a PCI card. A specialist like you would name this board more appropriatly. Note: I look the OGD1 board, there are memory, some chips and the fpgas. I don´t consider the latters as a CPU/GPU per se, hence if one put a low power CPU on the OGD board and one let aside the PCI edge, does one get the same thing that you have in mind ? _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
