RE: <3DNOW enhancements are a bunch of INTEL SSE INSTRUCTIONS that they quickly implemented.> Paul, do you mean exactly that same as in same op-codes, etc? Could a compiler use only the common subsets and produce code that runs on both?

Pal, <INTEL SSE INSTRUCTIONS that they quickly implemented.> You are loosing your sense of capitalization, Paul. The phrase above should be: "intel sse instructions that they QUICKLY IMPLEMENTED". Implication for "more difficult ones" is quite apparent: they could be QUICKLY IMPLEMENTED as well. I am much sure you have no worries that all money that Intel invested into SSE will now work for AMD for free. If you had an ounce of brains, you would understand the twist. But you don't.
