yeah I've considered a 4x20 lcd but i dont really solder very good so i would want a pre-made one which run around $50 us. I can get a cheap "butchy" composite lcd

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...51797&tc=photo

for $80 usd more and then ill be able to run mediacar etc...

I got enough grunt to run mp3s and a snes emulator at the same time, vcd's, short mpegs (drift and burnout mostly, some porn i guess ). DIVX and DVD are a bit choppy but almost bareable. Im hoping some more ram will help there.

I dont really need VGA as yet because GPS software is expensive for australia (because of the small market for it I guess) and I pretty much know the places I drive around anyway (I'm not in a city). If I ever do the composite would become a secondary screen anyway.

So yeh ive considered it but my hearts pretty much set on a cheap 7" now...so much more functionality for not much more cost.
