I find that hard to believe, considering Andy Mucho's article, which
had the following line innit:

    Display output NTSC/PAL
    Digital TV (DTV)
    VESA (maximum 1280 x 1024 pixels)

(Message-ID: <920657570.28485.0.nnrp-09.d4e4fdbd@news.demon.co.uk>)


> At a minimum, it should be able to do 1024x768 on a digital TV.

That would appear to be possible, yes.  But that's a far cry from what
you expect, which is 2.5 times that resolution, and probably at a
higher refresh rate, too.  Besides, you don't know what frame rate
you'll get, or how good the textures will be...


I don't have a hard time believing that it will perform well at
1280x1024.  We already have a PC add-on card manufacturer[0] who
claims to reach nice frame rates at that resolution with SLI
configured Riva TNTs, and besting that shouldn't be impossible.


(But when do I get my InfiniteReality^2 add-on card for my home
computer?  Hmm?  Hmm?)
