Paul, Re -- Petz - Re: " you well know that without OS (Win 95/98/NT) support KNI is DEAD in the WATER." Actually I'd wager the stock price of AMD that there is more software out there (in various stages of development) for KNI than for the AMD 3D-NOT. Stockman

Speaking of all these independent software developers reminds me of MMX. I'm sure you'll remember how Intel "got" them to tout the "wonderfulness" of MMX by giving them the code in advance so they could develop great programs for it that we all couldn't live without. They said MMX was going to change the world of computing, programs would run 50% faster so everyone had to run out and get an MMX processor so they wouldn't miss this great panacea... Basically, MMX went flopsky in the woods...so now we are supposed to listen to the next line of Bull that Intel ships out to the ISVs. Yeah boy howdy... Jim
