Flickerful - Re: "many software vendors will likely write for both...""
This last statement, which I have seen elsewhere, is completely BOGUS.
True, 3DNOW has been out for about 9 months. However, there are NO APPLICATIONS written for 3DNOW except for a few GAMES !
AMD had to muster up some late "endorsements" by more GAME COMPANIEs on Thursday (2/11/99) just so AMD doesn't get buried in the Pentium III HOOPLA.
Thus, if software developers HAVE NOT written 3DNOW software when there WAS NO Pentium III, why would they choose to do so NOW, when there IS a PENTIUM III with more advanced 3D instructions available (Katmai), better advertising, and much higher profile machines from Dell, IBM, Compaq, HP, Gateway, etc ?
3DNOW = 3D-DOA.
