Be careful about this.  The board (and boards like this) have varying levels
of compression which are couple to image quality.
I will say though that this board looks very promising, and it sounds like it
is going to edge out the Mac and IBM work alikes due to the Amiga's Zorro III
bus speed and this boards ability to use smaller compressions and still achive
30fps. However, I have not eval'ed on yet.
It also has a 32bit pixel bus that interfaces directly to their high speed
render board (TI34020+multiple 34082's).
