at one time I read a rumor that Revolution was going to have a Physic Processing Unit, where is the rumor at. After the impressive Ageia demo on Nvidia Sli Computer Rigs, I could see if Revolution has one it could really push the system to new levels. The demo from ageia on computer hardware increase the demo from 6 fps to 30 fps, not becuase of grahpic pretties but because of everything that was happening on the screen Physic s wise that the grahpics card and Cpu no longer had to deal with. could you imagine what the gamecube by itself would do if it had a PPU and games took advantage of it, nevermind The fact that Revoluiton will have a better CPU and GPU over the gamecube.

While I don't know the cost of these chips...it would allow the rev to compete with the ps3 and 360 in terms of graphical power while having lower specs.

Personally I think the Revolution and the PSthird will be the king systems,
I think that the CarpBox Sphere being released so soon is bad,
that and well, Microsoft concentrates on Sports titles, FPS and you cannot PWN the market with just two genres.
