<As an Intel fan/supporter I would have thought you would have welcomed the idea of the CPU doing the 3D work. After all it's another excuse for people like me to give the wife for an upgrade. It also means higher revenues for cpu makers and let's not forget, MMX2 is widely acknowledged to do the same thing as the the +3D on the K6+3D. Are you saying Intel shoulnd't release MMX2 because I can get a graphics card to do it too?> As I said, I'm not an expert in this area. I didn't fully understand the issue. That's why I asked for clarification. Thanks for your (and others) help explaining. Now I know customers should be looking forward to Intel's MMX2 rather that AMD's K6-3D <g>. I understand AMD is getting some support from games developers. What is needed from an operating system to support this? Surely people won't want to run DOS games anymore. What is MS's position on this? EP
