Well sorry, I didn't feel like typing out all the info, ok!? ._.

Here you go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Television_Interface_Adapter < That's the main graphics chip.

It works with the ANTIC chip ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANTIC ) and that's basically the GPU.

Here's some more info:

I'd bid... if I liked buying useless crap.

[Tatsujin]

thanx for the effort kitsune^^

i simply wanted to know, if the cpu owns a rgb-output, since you need that to produce a proper s-video output.

Haha. You took the words right outta my mouth, Joe. The 5200 is barely better, if at all, than the 2600. If you're going to buy an Atari system get the 7800. The joystick is better and it's backwards compatible with the 2600. It's also not a ginormous monstrosity. (see AVGN review)

[guyjin]

I've been meaning to start collecting 7800 stuff. but every time I look for one on ebay, it's always bundled with an assload of 2600 carts, and maybe 1 or 2 7800 games.

I think I will call your wager and raise you an Odyssey 2 with AVs.

Silly Kamino, you might not like games anymore, but I can still find the nerd sections of your site.

That guy has got some funny shit going on in his Rants section. I hate to say it, but I agree with him on a lot of that stuff.
