excellent!
Although, to be offensivly inappropriate, I just saw an ad for xilinx's latest
FPGA: a sea of gates with 4 embedded powerpc 405 cores floating in it, and also
and 216 multipliers (I assume 8-bit??) ! I presume it comes in a ball-grid
array or maybe a PQFP. Now, if only I could get it for $7 each ...
I wonder what one can do with that?
