On a minimally related note. In the NSC framebuffer driver I saw mention to a Geode GX1 Pyramid chip which supposedly fixed an issue with pitch > 1k for 16bpp. I've haven't been able to get an answer from AMD about what this chip was, or if national ever made it. It was mentioned in the driver back when the geode gx1 was still in b2 silicon revision. This limitation kind of prevents any 16x9 resolutions other than 848x480 with a suitable color depth, though technically there's enough memory.
Is it aligned differently or something?

of curiosity. How much do you guesstimate it would increase cost of the PIC if they add added built-in ethernet to it? $0.50 ? (not really sure if Geode cpu has build in ethernet or not).
10/100 would be very cheap, MacPhy+magnetics+passives+RJ45=<$2in high volume.
Whenever this comes up, they only want USB for expansion 2-6 in fact. It seems that the 3rd world telcos/isp's offer DSL, GPRS or WiMax derivatives via another box with a USB interface.
VGA is even considered unnecessary, TV out for NTSC/Pal is the display of choice.
