I retract my assertion that a WinChip does some kind of integrated video.
Somewhere along the line of <$400 machines, I because misinformed/confused.
There is some form of recognized video chip on the iOpener, but it _does_
use main memory as video RAM.

Hi,

iOpener,
but it _does_ use main memory as video RAM.
Yes, I've seen a fair few recent motherboards with on-board AGP video which
do that.
I've often wondered what sort of performance hit you take, if any, for doing
things that way?
