Not much. My guess is a picture every 1 second on the worst case.

Thanks. Any pointers to PC104?

Hello Miki,

> Thanks. Any pointers to PC104?

Sorry, I don't. Do a Google search, there are tons of vendors. Sometimes 
they are called "PC/104" or "PC-104", mostly one-chip PCs. However, they 
won't fit your budget. $1 to $3 is next to impossible if you want that 
large of an LCD. Maybe unless you are building several million a year 
and can afford the upfront NRE of an ASIC design.

For that LCD screen I would look at the toy market. If you see something 
in the store try to find out where that LCD came from. Chances are it's 
custom and very high volume.
