Psygnosis, a subsidiary of Sony, think 3DNOW! is superior to Intel FPU: "The AMD-K6r-2 processor represents a crucial breakthrough in enhancing floating point performance. Psygnosis is keen to utilise the 3DNow! technology in our games to offer the player an even better gaming experience." 209.239.39.102 Psygnosis will introduce 5 new games with 3DNow! Just as I said before the CeleronA can't block K6-2. Why? The reason is simple. CeleronA and PII have NO 3D-engine. 3DNow can do so much more than what Intel pipeline FPU can do. One example is lighting. Most game has only one lighting. Just add several lighting effects on the game and Intel CPU will be choked! The K6-2 on the other hand will run very smoothly. Maxwell
