    No, Granny didn't talk about that project. He talked about a former project which indeed was announced by Genesi to use the MPC5200B (plus onboard Volari gfx chip).

    > The 5200B has a gfx card slot.

    A chip doesn't have a slot. If you mean the Efika 5200B, you are right though.

    > The 5121e has onboard gfx.

    No, the MPC5121e has on-*chip* gfx, as it is a chip, not a board.

    Yes, I think nobody in his right mind would dispute the fact that an MPC5121e based device doesn't have an MPC5200B. Apart from that, at one (former) point Genesi announced intentions to bring an MPC5200B-based net-top product to market which didn't have a card (but an onboard Volari gfx chip).

    > A 5200B device doesn't have onboard gfx.

    Why should an MPC5200B mean that the device couldn't have onboard gfx? What about a mainboard with MPC5200B and an onboard gfx chip? In fact, Genesi once announced exactly that (MPC5200B plus onboard Volari gfx chip), and you very well know that fact. At least you would if you read and understood what I wrote to you in that other thread some months ago.

    > Genesi didn't go that 5200B route until the Efika.

    ...which was way before their MPC5121e based announcements.
