    Or load some fast SRAM from an SD card and clock it out to the monitor for a single instance.
    A 2nd SRAM slowly loads while the first displays.

    The fact is that this chip is doing all the jobs (sound 4 channels, white noise plus video plus motion) with no extra chips, logic or FPGA. And at 20MHz.

    Now I am very jellous...

    The 8 bit PIC's are slower than AVR however the 16-bit PICs will better AVR
    running up to 40 MIPS with 16 bit (instructions?).

    Default propeller

    I assume you all are aware of the Parallax "Propeller" micro...

    It is an amazing piece of work. It is a typical(?) micro... but it has 8 cpu cores!! Each of them can share the same I/O and can pass variables to each other. Therefore you can have one core just doing one thing and another core do another thing.

    Pretty amazing.

    Not that I am ready to switch... I am still trying to keep up with the PIC's and PBP. I have yet to outrun the capabilities with the PIC's.

    These micros are neat stuff no matter which way you go. Sure beats the heck out of the old Altair 8800

    And I am perfectly happy with PicBasic Pro. It is very capable and can stand up speed-wise to most "C" programs with little or no compromise, much easier to follow for my old eyes.

    Cheers
    Dwight
