DARBES, Apparently the software community has more respect for 3DNow than our favorite thread critic would have us believe ;^) Scumbria

dberersesr - Re: "the Ultimate Gaming Machine By Microsoft" Yes - even Microsoft knows what a 450 MHz Kmart 63 is good for - games. Too bad the GAMERS don''t like it ! Paul

Drbes, this does not appear to be an endorsement from MS. This was not a press release from Microsoft. This was a press release from AMD. Also, the MSFT quote does not state AMD was selected by Microsoft as the ultimate gaming machine. There is no MSFT contact person listed on the PR, only an AMD contact name. I am somewhat inclined to believe this was simply an invitation to a vendors booth to help promote new MS gaming software. As an aside, an endorsement quote from MSFT comes with the MSFT boilerplate template. This one didn't contain it. Amy J
