Paul, re:<<"do you mean exactly that same as in same op-codes, etc? Could a compiler use only the common subsets and produce code that runs on both?">>

<Yes and yes.>

Are you saying that Athlon has 128 bit registers in its 3DNow unit? If not, the code a compiler has to generate to utilize both 3D enhancements would be extremely inefficient for the Intel CPU.
