Elmer,

All indications upto this point in time are that MS will support these instructions in their next release of DirectX. This will mean that games which are written for DirectX should see a speed improvement (without need to rewrite the game) over machines without the 3D-enhacning instructions. It's the same as when MMX came out. Games that use DirectX got an instant advantage when you installed DirectX5.0.
