Once GFX9000 is also accessed by OUTs, it's a good guess that
ADVRAM will be faster. Also, ADVRAM will be CHEAPER than GFX9000...
And also, you'll have not to connect the monitor to one cartridge
to see the image, since the ADVRAM is enabled/disbled via software
and uses the same exit as VDP.
But ADVRAM requires internal modifications, which are not needed
on GFX9000.

Yes! (-; No only 3D... videos also.
