I think I agree, but it's not just the P5 delay that's the problem–they only showed them on the Pentium (wonder if anybody will actually use that name?) because they could and it made things look even better. Indeed, most folks won't get a P5 until they have to upgrade, probably in 2-3 years after it's introduced. The only time I've seen AVI files run smoothly and seamlessly was when they were run off a dedicated full motion video card (that also accepts NTSC and PAL) that was chained off a stock VGA feature card connector. So, it's two boards, two slots, and if you want the best high resolution graphics for your regular apps you can't use it because those cards don't have feature connectors and you'll have to be happy with 640X480 for just about everything. Implication 2: you'll need a second system dedicated to full motion video networked to your first and primary computer that you use for real work. Hmmm…. Maybe that's what Video for Windows is for…. So, a few thousand bucks for a fully dedicated system and you're MPC super-ready! Me, I got work to do.
