I am not a tech person by any stretch of imagination but want to put this question on the board anyways cause I felt like it and please help me out on this you tech geeks.
Is there any remote possibilty that you can replace your original proccessor with this one when it does come out?

No. These embedded processors require special machines to install or remove from a board, and even if you had that, it's incredibly unlikely that the size and pinout would be compatible with older processors. |

um another question if the P3XX [the higher end ones] have in-built hardware for graphics [the one for better VGA playback and display] do apps still need to be VGA aware/compatible?

Yes. Even if a chip has specialized graphics capabilities (which I think aren't on-board with the fastest chip, if I read correctly) the application still has to support VGA. |

I hope more manufacturers snap up these chips and make more VGA devices... the sooner the better of course so that developers/programmers can make their apps VGA aware as well [still have a boatload of apps that look crap on VGA]

1.2Ghz? Man, that's faster than my brand new UMPC! WITH improved power efficiency? Man, we live in a great time!

I hate to get into this debate again, but 1.2GHz with a RISC processor is not the same as 1.2GHz in an x86 processor, and is in fact much, much slower.

I don't think that would really impact the development for VGA aware apps... While the Monahans look promising under the new company that handles it, I'm not so sure about the efficiency of their chips as compared to Smasung processors.
