Waldeen, AMD is the company that does 3dnow!, not Cyrix. On second glance the info says the new chip will support 15 new multimedia instructions (which look suspiciously similar to 3dNow!) where 3dNow! supports 21 new instructions so I guess no 3dNow! for the GX. I suppose that's not too bad if the integrated 3d takes advantage of those instructions but I don't expect any software developers to pick up the Cyrix banner with KNI coming out. To many new instruction sets and not enough support to go around. Pat
