Rod, re:<AM3D is all but useless save a few games> AM3D is Microsoft supported via the Direct-3D API, which is the de-facto standard for gaming software as well as more serious CAD/Engineering software. What API supported MMX? The AM3D instruction set (not sure if that's the right name) was jointly developed by AMD and its users. See techstocks.com AMD has also developed, in conjunction with users, a set of "immediate mode" subroutines which can be invoked if the detection code finds the K6-3D. Compiler support? Who knows? Did any compilers ever generate MMX code directly from 'C' if your code contained a loop operating on 8 and 16 bit values? Petz
