Umm, do I read those specs right? A total RAM size of _1KB_ which the four
FIFOs have to share? That would be even LESS than what the SAA7146A had to
offer, which had _dedicated_ 128 Dword buffers on each of its three video
FIFOs = 1.5KB.

If this is true, even if you threw away all other FIFOs and dedicated all
the RAM resources to the TS FIFO, you still only have a 256 Dword FIFO
buffer - i.e. only DOUBLE than what the SAA7146A had to offer.

Is Philips really this pathetic...?
