>>Sounds like SCSI… $50 per device driver<< Dan, It wouldn't be quite that bad. Unlike SCSI, the Chrome is a fast card on its own merits with good drivers for Windows and such. This is unlike the SCSI driver crime where you don't have basic functionality without the special drivers. But, I think I would be "fair" to charge more money for software which is customized for a particular board (much smaller market … special development costs). If the performance was "magnitutes" better, I think the pro's (which would be a high percentage of the Chrome users I'd guess) would be willing to pay for the preformance. Especially with an image generation, editing software like HiRes QFX. If they had a special verision which took advantage of the onboard RAM, the performance for airbrushing and such should be able to rival propriatary dedicated paint systems $10k's more expensive. In that case, a few hundred extra bucks for the software wouldn't be a problem. Ang
