    Sounds pretty respectable. Amazing its take an operating system to get some decent features into a graphics chip, rather than the plethora of high-spec games over the past few years! Can't imagine them adding anymore pixel/vertex units in though.

    Well there is some question as to the point. There is only so much you can do without dedicated ram. What I think has helped is the huge increase in bandwidth from DDR2.
