And you can't open up a CD and upgrade the games to make them better.  That's 
not what we're talking about.
Videogame designers can, however, include special chips in carts in addition

floating point math chip which could churn out numbers and feed them to the 
main unit faster than a CD-based unit could read pre-calculated numbers.
