Michael, Are beginning to talk to yourself? In the U.S., that is a sign of loosing it. Since you have claimed the following applications, why don't you back it up with facts? What specific applications are using: Arcade-quality 3D games Edutainment software with 3D images Web VRML and site development tools Business document, presentation, and spreadsheet programs CAD/CAE packages 3D audio processing Speech recognition software Soft modems Soft DVD Software drivers for 3D graphics controllers MPEG2 video playback Dolby AC-3 (digital surround-sound algorithm for DVD movies) The only piece of software we know is Quake-II in which Maxwell spends a tremendous amount of time blasting some sort of mutant monsters away.

You are responding to this message from Michael DaKota- on Jul 19 1998 4:41PM EST Sample of Applications for 3DNow! technology (Long list deleted) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Yeah, but someone has to write drivers for the 3DNow. And software may have to be rewritten to use those new drivers. I get the feeling that 3DNow will likely never be more than a just niche market. There's probably not enough volume for software makers to devote to using 3DNow, especially when is KNI coming soon, and likely in much bigger volumes to make the software R&D worthwhile... Have any other companies besides AMD shipped 3DNow parts? -Longshot
