Wow. Out of all those spam PRs (one listing the 12 game houses would have sufficed) one game currently supports the nine-month-old 3DNow. Everything else is "plan". Every one of these game houses will release a KNI optimization in the same future version that supports 3DNow, I'd bet. Where's the hay that AMD made out of their much-hyped (at least by you) head start?

Since gamers are heat seekers they'll buy the PIII instead of waiting to be able to buy the K7.

BTW, I went to pricewatch.com and I can't seem to find an entry for the K6-3. Why is that?

Slickster - Re: "Gremlin Interactive to Publish and Develop Games Supporting AMD'S 3DNow! Technology - B"

Not bad.

Nine months after 3DNOW was introduced, and 6 days before Intel's Pentium III debut, AMD gets a dozen game companies to offer FUTURE support for 3DNOW.

That's a little late.

That's why AMD is losing money.
