Hi, For starters we don't know yet what are going to be the full specifications for the new Sony PC. So lets pick that one up after monday when Sony announces their product and please don't forget that they have their PlayStation division to tap from for technology. So lets deal with BeBox, whats so great about it in terms of multimedia? Also if you already own a PC , I don't see any reason why you can outfit your PC with the appropiate gear. S3 Virge (3d engine) , GUS PnP, matrox meteor or suitable vga plus video capture board-- I think Matrox has a decent combo vga + video capture. Tapi devices are starting to rolling so if you shop around you can probably find a decent Tapi board. My point is that you can get a fairly decent multimedia PC. JKH just posted that Intel is selling P200 with their Aurora motherboard for about $1300 . Now I love to see the price projection for a dual P200 + motherboard by next christmas 8) Regards, Amancio >From The Desk Of Jake Hamby : > All I can say is, "Big whoop".
