Re: "Will the K7 have Katmai New Instructions?"

Who cares. If I were Intel, I'd be worried about making Katmai compatible with 3DNow--because by the time Katmai hits the mass market AMD will be WAY ahead in available software. Besides, Intel has a proven record of providing useless graphics functionality on their processors. So there's no need to get excited.

Furthermore, Katmai at 500 MHz or even 550 MHz will be slower than K7 at 500 MHz. Count on it.
