Paul here my oqn assessment on the pentiumIII without any test results. vedio standards are a hollywood left over. they found that at five frames moving through the projector per second motion is decernable but jerky at 30 frames per second the eye or memtal perception is fooled in thinking the motion is smooth and flawless. this is the refresh rate. next you have the 800 by 600 pixels. which require 500,000 bits of data to update thirty time per second. that for black and white. if you want color multiply the numbers by 10 or 5 million bits of info per second. up untill late last year microprocessors were not powerful to handel this to the flawless state. now it is possible. plus you need the special instructions to coordinate the effect. mmx did not do the trick. AMd got it right with 3-d now. since intel is claiming it too does it now. dleivers improved video and graphic i beleive them...whether or not one is discernably better remains to be seem but my instincs tell me if the intel engineers have addressed the problem and we know the eye can be fooled i would guess the difference won't be descernable. what will be is the price differential. the pentiumIII reportable only offers a slight improvement in speed. so whats left to reconcile is the proce differential vs the power trade off which again is not that big of a difference.
