Kash - Re: "The SSE so far has been a joke just like MMX and 3dNow IMHO at least so far." 3DNOW is a JOKE, yes. But there are tons of MMX software and already the Pentium /// SSE has support from a LONG LIST of workstation and graphics suppliers. I posted such a list to McMannic last week - do you want me to re-post it? Paul

"The SSE so far has been a joke " My marketing person who is a heavy user of Photoshop does not think so.She found this link www4.tomshardware.com and is clamoring for a Pentium III. I am urging a wait for Coppermine, but am having a hard time getting her to live for another few months with a 1 year old Pentium II 300. Ref- Other Issues I am not going to argue on details, but I will stand by my assertion: AMD will not gain market share and make a profit, on K-7, unless the K-7 has dramatically better technology than Intel. So far K-7 appears to be marginally worse to marginally better than Intel.[ Depending on your bias]. This marginal parity will not allow AMD profitable existence, unless it downsizes significantly.
