Scumbria - Re: "The two arguments you have presented for KNI- compression and graphics, both belong in special purpose hardware, not software."

Pentium III offers advanced compression capabilities with its KNI instructions - which ultimately be free as P3 prices come down the learning curve.

And every purchaser of a Pentium III will get this capability without having to buy a special, high priced graphics accelerator card.

For those that need the absolute "mostest", yes, dedicated graphics card are called for - to assist the FASTEST CPUs, which are Intel CPUs.
