RE:"Then why is AMD so keen to pay Intel royalties to use SSE in the K8????"

Same reason they bought an MMX license from Intel. You have to include the latest hype. Doesn't mean it will pan out.
At least when Intel added MMX to the Pentium they upped the cache size so it would appear to run all apps faster...
