Steve,

would the deal have still been worth it to have future gaming software optimized for AMD's 3D Now instructions?

That does seem to be the big loss that AMD has suffered. The lack of good tool support for 3DNow! will be very painful when Willy arrives.

If AMD doesn't have a good plan for how to deal with Willy, next year may be very painful for them.
