Kevin - RE: "What's this that AMD is adding 19 new multimedia instructions?"

I hope they are something like the extra SSE instructions 3D Now! doesn't have, and then some.

I can't wait to see how the K7 performs running the normal gaming benchmarks on a TNT2 w/3D Now! drivers.

Other benchmarks I want to see run on the K7:

High End Winstone on both Microsoft OSs
One of those pure FPU apps like a rendering of some sort
The K7 vs. the PIII in one of those programs w/massive amounts of SSE code Intel distributed to Tom and Anand
And finally the normal Winstone

BTW, this Q looks like it is going to be ugly. Prudential (.67) estimate - ewwww.
