More chip choices for advanced computing sjmercury.com Also, while every chip supports Intel's MMX multimedia instructions, there is a new wrinkle. Starting later this month, a separate set of multimedia instructions called 3DNow will be introduced by AMD and offered to other chip manufacturers with the goal of improving a computer's ability to handle complex graphics. And the size and location of a Level 2 cache -- memory that improves the performance of a computer by making information available to the processor more quickly -- is becoming ever more important. AMD's new designs Even AMD, which once defined itself as being the most compatible of the x86 clone manufacturers, is promising new chip designs it says will duplicate the performance of Intel's new slot technology while still using the older, less expensive socket design. At the end of this month, AMD will offer a new version of its K6 processor that adds support for the Accelerated Graphics Port, or AGP. Developed by Intel, AGP provides a faster, direct connection between graphics processors and system memory. At the same time, AMD will introduce 3DNow, a set of 21 instructions written by AMD and supported by Cyrix, IDT and Microsoft, that will speed up the processing of 3D graphics data. According to AMD officials, those enhancements should make the upcoming K6-2 capable of matching the Pentium II's 3D graphics performance.

Time Traveller: Your explanation is not bad at all. It started out pretty good but then your idea breaks apart. The cornerstone of HUP (Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle) is that YOU CAN PREDICT momentum and space/energy and time (in your case stock price and movement of stock price) within an accuracy no better than half the Planck constant. (Delta Momentum)*(Delta Space)> or = Planck Constant/2 This constant sets the resolution at which instrument can resolve and what is observable and unobservable. Maxwell
