Nice!  (The automagic part.)

I was lucky enough to run into a good contact at Xilinx and now have a 
good opportunity to do some research on spartan 3 parts, particularly 
availability, power requirements and cost.

The 3S2000 seems to be the smallest part that can fit an OGL 1.3 fixed 
function pipeline at decent speed.  The 3S4000 on the other hand would 
allow more scope for optimization and enough headroom for some 
next-generation development.

So it would be really nice to be able to use the 3S4000.  But if the 
board ends up twice as expensive and needs active cooling, then the 
3S200 would have to do.

Regards,

Daniel
