The i750 is being promoted by Intel as a multimedia chipset - real time video, MPEG decompression, video effects, etc. Does the i860 have the wherewithall to compete with the i750? The bus is wider, it runs faster, but does the lack of the i750's microcode ops and the bus latency accessing the VRAM lower the real time performance such that it cannot perform the same functions as the i750 (as well as its strongpoints - 3D rendering, Phong shading, blits, etc)? Thanks, Rick.
