...I think many people in the PC world could learn a thing or two from Eyetech's hardware engineers.

Nah.  It's cheaper to buy a graphics card separately.

But from what Stedy said on AmigaWorld.net about the Troika design, adding onboard gfx would mean you'd lose a PCI slot anyway.
 Sure, you could add the option to disable it and use a PCI card, but then that's all adding to the complexity and the end cost.

It sounds weird to me, but I'm not a hardware engineer.
What kind of PCI bus can only handle two devices (1 PCI card + onboard gfx)? When commenting on onboard gfx, are they talking about some sort of "almost-AGP" thingy, where they would need to reserve bandwidth?

(Personally, I'd take a full ATX mobo any day. If I'd ever want a tiny HTPC, where I won't see much of the OS anyway but need support for e.g. lots of codecs, then I'll buy a cheap x86 mobo.)

Don't forget that there's also onboard sound, ethernet, USB and ATA(Sil0680) too, so that plus 2 PCI slots makes it 6 devices.
