Hmm, if the P5 will be out, wait what you can do then by software only
decompression with the XING technology scalable MPEG player....

Then it will be possible to do SVGA 640x480 on a local BUS system in
realtime with software only MPEG decompression.

Why would you invest then in a 3000US$ hardware , which gives no more
better picture quality than a 100 Mips P5 (586) processor with the
right software ?
And the P5 will be out around Xmas..

Let's do it by software only. It will be more flexible..
