Re: AMD announces set top box... Remember when Jerry was making a big deal about how the new 3DNow extensions were much more significant than SSE2 since they supported hardware DVD and MPEG? Looks like we're starting to see the payoff. There's a chance that the embedded K6-2+ could turn into the kind of cash cow that the 68000 has been for Motorola and the 960 has been for Intel. The die size is small, so they're cheap but still profitable, they don't use much power, so they can be put into a little box, and they do what's needed. AMD may still be cranking these out in heavy volume 5 years from now. Regards, Dan
