Haim,

My assertion was that you don't need an expensive microprocessor (PIII) to do hardware compression/decompression.

You responded with a valid example of a case where you would want to do this in software.

I responded with a question which hinted that low cost AMD processors with 3DNow can probably do just as well as high cost PIII processors.

I will rephrase my question more specifically:

Do you know of any reason why KNI will do better on these algorithms than 3DNow?
