Re: "Impressive indeed, IMHO" You're right Yousef, now we can blast mutant aliens AND smack homeruns. Wow! 9 games. That's sure to save AMD from bankruptcy. EP

There are drivers for the Voodoo2,Voodoo, and the Riva 128 chips, and those are the 3 most sold 3d-cards available now. Use one of those drivers in combination with a host of other games and applications, and they will be accelerated too. But yousef, if I remember right, MMX- You know, Intel promised alot. But it took ages before there actually where some mmx-enhanced titles. And the differences where minimal compared to use on non-mmx cpu's. I find the number of game compagnies and software houses who support the 3d-now technology more important than the number of titles available right now.

Yousef and the experts, Ice Laboratories at ice-corp.com has a cross section view of K6 (in 0.25um I believe) magnified 60K X. The poster version is free. The J-PEG file costs $50. The is a very impressive view of K6 built from layer to layer. Poly thickness is 0.25um; LI is shown like a W plug; metal 1 is 0.50um; metal 2, 3, and 4 are 1um each; metal 5 (upper most layer) is 2 to 3 um thick. The workmanship is superb, just amazing. CMP along with SOG really flattens out the topography of the IC. Time Traveler
