" The current Project VGA board has 16MB of SD RAM, Xilinx Spartan 3 s400
FPGA under 100MHz, and uses the PCI bus. These first-run prototypes will
cost over $200 USD with no guarantees to work or warranties."

Nvidia and ATI had better watch out because this baby is going to take over
the market!

It's an awesome begining for open source hardware. Today an entry level vga

Currently, we have the right equipment in our homes for broadband
access.

Who would have believed it in 1980?

In the future, we will have the right equipment for fabricating chip

Who will believe that we conceived of this idea in 2000?
