ive also looked into that virtua, a bit disappointing isnt it, all that money, and they couldnt even use the intel extreme shared graphics(64mg), its a cruddy sis 32 meg one.....

one thing i have read is that if you forefit the tv tuner you can get a pci bus grapics card, dont know if its true nor care as i love tv on the sony.....

someone should design an usb graphics card.........!!!!

32MB is a bit low nowadays, but remember the V1 is not for gaming, more of a TV PVR and office comp.

hold up, just been delving in the properties on my system and it says the sis is a pci bus, does that mean its in a pci slot??? if so does that not mean it can just be upgraded to a better pci graphics card????

If it's not got AGP and is using PCI then yes.
But I thought Gigapocket was using the only PCI slot in the V1?
