So far we have:

MANUFACTURE:	Yamaha
CHIP:		YGV611
PRICE:		$80
SPEED:		33 MHZ
POWER:		Unknown, but it uses Low Power CMOS
BITS-PER-PIXEL:	16 (assume 65536 colors)
POLYGONS#:	550K/s (210K with Texture Mapping)
LINES$:		1.6M/s short vectors
Z-BUFFER:	16-bit
RESOLUTIONS:	Up to 1280x1024/16bit color

#	w/Gouraud Shadding, clipped.  Data Sheet does not say how
	many pixels are in a polygon.
$	Clipped.  Data Sheet does not say how many pixels are
	in a short vector.



MANUFACTURE:	3DLabs
CHIP:		300SX
PRICE:		$150
SPEED:		50 MHZ
POWER:		3W (@ 3.3V and 50 MHz, 5V tolerant I/O)
BITS-PER-PIXEL:	8 (256 colors), 16 (32K colors), 24/32 (16M colors)
