nu horizons avnet which choos
i would like to design first FPGA board soon,for experimenting with VHDL doing custom microprocessors.. which device do you advice me to select? Virtex5,4? Spartan? which chip? i am also planning to place a Microcontroller on the board and interconect with FPGA. and also where online can i get all those components including Jtag cable at good price? (digikey etc..are all expencive. and futurlec.com doesnt have FPGA things) thanks

i just found on some website that JTAG cable is about 300$! is it possible? or i am looking at something wrong? why would Jtag-USB cable cost so much? huh? just a cable with little circuitry inside!
