So you are suggesting they have found a way to increase the processing 
power of a system by using the available VGA RAM and processor to do 
other tasks? (using things we didn't know we had dept). They must have 
had detailed specs of the processor, worked out code algorithms, 
compiled them and uploaded them into unused VGA RAM to run (clever).
