I think there are a couple of other minor improvements over a vanilla K6, but nothing that would amount to a significant improvement besides the 3D instructions. Kevin

James, <So is AMD holding the K6-3D back until such time as DirectX 6 is available?> Thanks for that article, until I read it I wasn't absolutely sure that DirectX6 AMD-3D support "made it" into the included feature set. To answer your question, when AMD originally announced the delay, they blamed it on software support, not on production. I believe thats why they gave the wide April to June time window. I mean, certainly AMD knew when the K6-3D's would start rolling off the assembly line in quantity. I think the K6-3D rollout will be more like Intel's Pentium II rollout than AMD's K6 rollout -- lots of machines and chips available immediately, with cool software to demo it. Petz
