I've seen C-Cube's MPEG board running on a PC delivering MPEG sound and
video at 150kb/sec.  It looked really good; the chips and board are avaliable
now I believe.  SGS Thompson has recently announced it is bringing out a 
MPEG chip, but it isn't avaliable yet to my knowledge.

Last week AMD and C-Cube announced that they will share technology, with the
aim of embedding MPEG/JPEG/Px64 into the CPU!!  This won't happen next week,
but maybe in a year of so we'll see something on the market.  What is certain
in terms of timing is that MPEG/Digital video scene is happening quickly.


Try calling C-Cube directly :

1778 McCarthy Blvd.
Milpitas  CA  95035
tel (408)944-8106
fax. (408)944-6314

Hope this helps.  Regards,
Charles.
