          Appeal No. 2003-0440                                                       
          Application No. 09/430,162                                                 


               Regarding claims 5 and 15, since the claims are dependent             
          upon claims 2 and 12, respectively, with all of the limitations            
          thereof, and the examiner relies on only Vicard and Hong with no           
          additional evidence, the rejection includes the same deficiencies          
          discussed supra.  Accordingly, we cannot sustain the rejection of          
          claims 5 and 15.                                                           
               As to claims 8, 9, 18, and 19, Crump fails to remedy the              
          shortcomings of Vicard and Hong.  Specifically, Crump teaches              
          (column 3, line 62-column 4, lines 3 and 29-33) that the computer          
          system is split into media console 16 and separate system 18 and           
          that the central processing unit and the video/graphics subsystem          
          are both in system unit 18.  Therefore, we cannot sustain the              
          rejection of claims 8, 9, 18, and 19.  Booth also fails to cure            
          the deficiencies of Vicard and Hong.  Thus, we cannot sustain the          
          rejection of claim 32.                                                     












                                          6
