Okay, a couple of real mind bogglers for you.
Why aren't there many graphics enhancers/coprocessers on the market yet?
Seems to me there is a potential goldmine out there. A heard of a chipset
called PUMA that makes Windows twenty time faster in general because of faster
screen updates.
An even better question. The MAC has a hardware controlled mouse, why not the
PC. I hear that as much as twenty five percent of the available CPU time is
spent monitoring the mouse. Shouldn't it be possible to let some hardware worry
about doing the screen updates and watching the mouse?
I'd rather give answers than ask questions but these seem to me to be important
areas which have been largely overlooked. Perhaps a comment from a Microsoft
employee in the know?
Regards Peter
