>>>One of the big things the AM3D instruction set can do quickly is coordinate transformation of triangles, which, basically is computing where all the 3D things are, projected onto a 2D screen.<< Actually AMD-3D is also AMDs answer to Intels MMX-2. AMD just wanted to have something out before Intel. Coordinate transformation of Triangles can be currently done with the MMX. The added instructions in MMX-2 and AMD-3D probably can do more powerful matrix mathematics, thus its is a good idea that AMD increased the speed of its FP Ops. cl
