Managed to get to the local software store in time today to grab the last copy of Morrowind. So far I think the game is fantastic and if you do not see me around over the next year or two you know why. Anyhow, the game does run on the KYRO boards, athough like the rest of you playing the game, I feel there is definitely some room for improvement. Performance is not fantastic, especially in exterior environments, where things can get a bit choppy at times. Indoor environments are much faster. To improve outdoor scenes, I agree with Teasy comments in the forums about reducing draw distance. I went out and checked a few of the other messages boards around the net and I noticed that some of the other video cards are having performance issues as well. I am hoping that either a patch from Bethesda or new drivers from PowerVR will help with this issue. Now, do not get me wrong as the game is still very playable, but there is room for improvement.

Also, image quality, while mainly great, is not near 100 percent. Even with the defer render until flip option enabled, there are still some texturing issues that need to be addressed. But once again, these problems are not serious enough to hamper gameplay. I have not checked out the W-Buffer tip Teasy offered as well, so I cannot comment on whether or not it fixed the texturing issues.
