Ten, 3DNow is one half the reason why AMD can sell 333 MHz K6-2's at the same price as the Celeron 333. The consumer is looking for anything to distinguish computers and 3DNow is not all hype. MOST new games have either a DirectX 6 mode or a 3DFX mode and both of these are accelerated. Many new games are also using the Quake engine. The new ATI Rage 128 chipset and the old Rage PRO have 3DNow enhancements.

The other half of the reason is the poor image of the Celeron brand.
