Re: "Further, high end CAD systems - which rely on double precision FPU mathematics - will be able to match their screen resolutions to their internal databases." In other words, double precision vs. single precision is only useful for high end CAD systems. Standard graphics functions could conceivably be implemented using double precion in a way that makes them "more realistic," but whether it would be noticeable to the human eye is pretty questionable. So KNI really has no advantage over 3DNow. And we all know that Intel is going to have to wait for Merced to make a significant dent in the high end CAD market. Kevin
