That depends on your definition of "DHCP ready". It's misleading, but I'm sure anyone could twist the meaning of that statement to support their own claims. And, as far as I know, neither Ati nor Nv currently have any vga cards that fully support DHCP.


It's ready when you have HDCP keys on a card. It's clear.


It is clear that is the view of the article. Since nobody actually knows what an unreleased operating system and unreleased hardware will require to play unreleased content.

Or if unreleased drivers will enabled the function.

Basically, this is just a lot of speculation, albeit seemingly based on the best info available at this moment.

HDCP keys are mandatory. If you want have a graphics card with HDCP it has to have keys. When 'unreleased' OS will be released it will have to go through the keys.
These are the facts. It's not just a view of the article.
