Paul, RE:"Look for these (Direct X 6.1) to be released along with Katmai in Q1 1999.".... You don't suppose that Intel taking a stake in BeOS had anything to do with Microsofts "possible" willingness to get out a 6.1X that supports Katmai do you. Just a little nudge maybe? Thanks for your "quess"...we'll keep note of it. Regards, Jim

Paul: <<Look for these (Direct X 6.1) to be released along with Katmai in Q1 1999.>> DirectX 6.1 is already released. There are no KNI instructions in it. Go to MSFT homesite and download. <<Of course, the KNI optimizations coupled with Katmai will truly be impressive - well beyond K6-2 performances.>> In your dream. <<The Pentium II Optimizations may prove to be more powerful on a Pentium II than 3DNOW Optimized Direct X 6 instructions for the K6-2.>> Show me one software title that this is true.
