That would work, although I'm not wild about it.

Or maybe something like "We applaud AMD for getting their new ATI division
to see the light and release programming documentation."

That sounds slightly clumsy, and we'd need to see if "division" is the correct
term for the AMD-ATI relationship.

Or... we could move it to the question, so it sounds less like TT/OGP/OHF
taking a friendly jab at ATI and more like a customer doing it.

** But why do I need this OGP board now that ATI is finally releasing
programming documentation?

** But why do I need this OGP board now that AMD has bought ATI and 
gotten them to start releasing programming documentation?

This one sounds clumsy.

If I'm making a mountain out of a molehill, then never mind.

Two dual link DVI ports, one DVI-I, one DVI-D
or
One dual link DVI-I port
One dual link DVI-D port

Most people, even many EEs, will not know what "Two pairs of DVI transmitters
(dual link)" gets them.  Most people will know what a DVI port is.  Some
might not know what the -A, -D, -I suffix means, or what dual link means.
For the web version of the FAQ, DVI could be a link to an explanation,
either a page on TT/OGP/OHF, or something like wikipedia.

> 330MHz RGB/VGA triple DAC

Many people will not know what 330MHz gets them.  Maybe add the maximum
resolutions supported for DVI digital, DVI analog, and s-video.
Yeah it changes with refresh rate, maybe use 60 Hz since that is what
most LCDs run at.

> 68 user I/O signals on an optional 100-pin ICD connector

So the idea is the customer buys a connector and solders it on?
IIRC the connector is more expensive than one would expect,
but leaving off a connector on a $1500 board doesn't sound right.
Customers may not like the idea of risking their warranty by
modifying the board.

If there are examples of "how big of a problem can I tackle with
this board" other than the obvious GPU development, that
might be good to include.
