Here's one for your FAQ Sean. The TP750 uses the Western Digital 90C24
chipset, aka "Rocket," not to be confused with with the Western Digital
90C31 which is their top line chipset and also nicknamed "Rocket." They
are both accelerated (the latter is probably more accelerated :). They are
supposed to be compatible with the Paradise chipset (which wouldn't take
advantage of the acceleration hardware).
The 90C24 specs out at 1024x768x8 bits. It cannot display 16-bit or 24-bit
colors. Too bad.
