Well, I couldn't agree more!!, I have toyed with the idea myself, not to
build, but surely it would be possible to approach companies that produce
computer hardware. I mean hardware already exists like this, take for example
the Amiga (I don't own one, and don't want to), it has a graphics chip dedicated
to (I wonder what???) graphics. Surely something similar could be placed on an 
IBM on the video card, thus giving it power never imagined before. With 32-bit
machines becoming more common, imagine, not just the arcade style games, but the
3D, VR sort of games, giving the processors more time for calculations.  
Anyway, I hope other programmers agree (Ok gamers aswell)
