[ydl-gen] YDL 6 on a ibook G4 800 Mhz

[Derick Centeno]

Hi Bill:

I raised the topic of 3D as a means of bringing out the potential of  
what possible with the video card provided with the PowerStation.
As a means of emphasizing how Warren's video processing concerns are  
addressed by that video card I thought that this approach was merely  
one means of directing his attention to considering whether the  
PowerStation is actually a solution which could interest him.

Of course coding for multiple dimensions tests any video design, but  
it appears that the card which is standard with the PowerStation  
could be a solution which could be a superior choice given his past  
complaints.

I'm guessing of course.  You however can, at Fixstars, further pursue  
this question with greater accuracy than my guess or view gained from  
published specs, as you must have a PowerStation or two (or more) to  
play with there.  You lucky techie.  :-)

Derick.
