Could we have a Hardware Guru comment on the idea of multiple chipsets
handling larger display screens?  I don't see how it would work since
each set would have to run in the same memory(you think you've got
memory contention now!  Wait till your processor and _4_ chip sets are
accessing the *same* memory!!!)  But maybe with some custom magic there
is a way to make it work and make it work sooner than a complete new
design.

How 'bout it, Mr. HG?  Whaddaya think?
