On a CRT, each line is scanned twice. This is barely visible and you simply end up with ultra-sharp graphics compared to using hardware stretch. Another benefit is an exact 60Hz vertical refresh rate which overcomes the tearing effect on scrolling games.

Not sure I completely follow this.

Is this different to an exact 2x hardware stretch (e.g. 320x240@60 --> 640x480@60) with no filtering?

Andy,
Exactly what day this month will the PCI-E version go on sale...? And how much will it be?  thanks.

320 X 240 is indeed a special case as it is exactly half of 640 X 480 so quite easy to achieve but that is only one of the 30 available resolutions.

Andy,

Will you be releasing both the AGP version and the PCI-E version on the same day or will there be a pre-order delay for one or the other?  Thanks!
