Doesn't it seem a little odd that the Photographic memory edge provides none of the benifits that come from the Mnemonic Enhancers? They improve memory, Photographic Memory means you instantly recall anything and everything you ever experienced.

Things it might also include:
With use of transducer and chip/datajack: Int*100 in available "MP" for downloading paydata or storing video feeds. Skillwire design would preclude the use of MP for this, since you remove the chip and the skill goes away with no memory possible.

50% reduction in karma cost for knowledge/language skills, 25% for active since those tend to be less about book smarts and more about repitition and cognition, level 1 is now free to learn for knowledge/language skills

2 free successes on any knowledge skill test
