SCUM bria - Re : "I am somewhat surprised by the lack of 3DNow announcements. "

Two reasons:

1. 3DNOW optimizations only seem to help in games.

2. Pentium /// SSE optimizations seem to help MORE - for GAMES AND Technical CAD applications !

3. Pentium /// installed base will overtake 3DNOW in Q3 of this year.

4. By Q1/2000, 3DNOW will relegate Kmarts to Close out PCs - out of the mainstream.

By the way - 3DNOW sales - TOTAL are about 1/2 your crazy estimate of 30 million.
