1. A computer, comprising:

  • a connector that can be configured to couple to a console;

    an integrated central processing unit and graphics subsystem in a single chip;

    a Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) channel directly extending from the integrated central processing unit and graphics subsystem to convey encoded address and data bits of a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus transaction in a serial bit stream, wherein the LVDS channel comprises a first unidirectional, differential signal pair to convey data in a first direction and a second unidirectional, differential signal pair to convey data in a second, opposite direction; and

    a serial bit channel that couples to the connector, wherein the serial bit channel is adapted to transmit data packets in accordance with a Universal Serial Bus (USB) protocol;

    wherein the integrated central processing unit and graphics subsystem outputs digital video display signals.
