- Probably they will use CyberGraphX 3 as Graphics system, i am assuming... and
- if they really drop AGA (what i hoped...) the system can probably get a price
- reduce... what REALLY is needed...

- decent graphics chips like the Trio S3, with additional 3D graphics chip like
- in the PSX maybe... i heard some rumours about a new custom chipset cooming on
- a PCI board, but i do not know what is in this...
