RE:"Techno Babble"

The summary is generally accurate, but requires clarification in several areas.

1. C6, K6 and Pentium II all translate x86 instructions into RISC like instructions. Pentium MMX, M2 and Media GX execute native x86 instructions. C6 and Media GX have a single execution pipeline. The others are superscalar designs. Accordingly, C6 and Media GX are less expensive, use less power, and offer lower performance.

2. Very few games use floating point instructions.
