We decided to let third parties provide the graphics cards. Since we don't make our own ASICs, we really have no value that we can add to a graphics card, we would just be supplying a standard card with a Be name.

Since there is such a wonderful competition in graphics cards, we know that you will benefit more from being able to purchase exactly what you need instead of being tied to our choice.

Why doesn't the BeBox have an L2 cache?

Why didn't you put Ethernet on the BeBox motherboard?
