    I do not think I could do that no matter what chip I had.

    Is there really a big difference between the chips?

    Darrel,
    Could you do it with an 8 bit PIC?

    Oh sure ....
    But I'm a little busy right now trying to get Windows running on a 16F877A.

    I have done a PC monitor VGA with a 40MHz PIC in assembly but the pixels are actually a
    block of pixels maybe 4x4 as the PIC cannot change the output any faster.

    Haven't tried the newer faster PICS but would some day like to try FPGA's.

    See dsPIC30/33 or PIC24 for a VGA display project?

    Default 160Mhz

    On Linus' page Ioannis linked to.
    He describes an out PORTC,register command that reads a variable and puts it out on the PORT in a single instruction cycle.

    That would take a minimum of 2 instructions on a PIC.

    Since the atmel doesn't divide FOSC/4, and takes half as long for some intructions.
    The PIC would have to be running @ 160Mhz to get the same video response.
