I have a few questions...

Would it be possible to use the awesome visual rendering power of the
dreamcast as an additional FPU through the use of drivers? Does anybody
know if something like this is both technically possible and technically
feasible? Any idea if work on this has ever even been attempted? What
does everyone think would be required in order for something like this to
happen?

I recall reading something along the lines of this both being possible
and being done on the PC a while back, but I forget where I happened to
read it, unfortunately.

Any input would be great. =)

Thanks,
