FWIW--I've started lurking on this thread and it's great except for you, Scumbria. You're obnoxious... Jill

<Nevertheless, 3DNow and SSE are similar SIMD instruction sets. Is this a difficult concept to understand?> No. Now will you stop talking down to me, oh misleading one? <K6-2 offers the lowest cost gaming platform.> Scumbria, have you even looked at the links I gave you? Let me repeat again: A Celeron 400 beats a K6-III in games, yet costs only a few bucks more than a K6-2. But if performance really doesn't matter to you, then your statement will still be wrong: A Cyrix MII offers the lowest cost gaming platform. That is, if you don't mind watching your games run at the speed of molasses. Oh yeah, let me repeat again: A Celeron 400 beats a K6-III in games, yet costs only a few bucks more than a K6-2. Got any answer to that, oh evasive one? <A Celeron with T+L hardware acceleration should outperform a PIII system without T+L at lower cost.> Well, since there isn't any hard data to back this up, I guess you want me to trust you on this. I'm sure you'll forgive me if I don't start packing my bags immediately ... <None of these are comfortable things for you to hear, but hopefully you are mature enough to not lash out like a Paul child.> I see. You accuse me of only hearing what is comfortable for me to hear, yet you find this statement very shrilling to your blatant anti-Intel bias: A Celeron 400 beats a K6-III in games, yet costs only a few bucks more than a K6-2. Even such a "mature" engineer like yourself has to look at the real hard data: www4.tomshardware.com So where's the real hard data which shows that "T+L hardware acceleration" will render high-performance CPU's obsolete? You have nothing but speculation, but then again, I guess that's par for the course in your case. Tenchusatsu
