It says above, new ac board.... new arcade board - Could it be the arcade board Sega has been working on for a long time (PowerVR-based) or does it mean a new Xbox 360 arcade board (ATI-based) ? Sega Sammy has at least two new arcade boards that are known to exist: 1. Aurora - a low-end board with chipset from Renesas Technology which includes an embedded PowerVR MBX core 2. LindBergh (aka System SP) - highend board with next-generation PowerVR GPU - assumed to be PVR Series 5 - note that Dreamcast, NAOMI and NAOMI 2 all used PVR Series 2 chips (PowerVR2 DC) House Of The Dead 4 is either on LinderBergh / System SP (assumed to have PowerVR Series 5) or another unnamed board that is likely to be based on one of the next-gen consoles, most likely, Xbox 360 (ATI's Xenos / C1 / R500) [/QUOTE]
