Maybe of interest: http://www.intel.com/pc-supp/multimed/mmx. It has a full description of each of the 57 new processor instructions and a full description of the new Single Instruction Multiple Data technology. Sounds good, intel claims that the introduction of MMX is comparable in importance to the step up to 32 bit processing with the introduction of the 386. They say the performance increase is from 50 to 400% depending on applications. Pc's with this technology will be made available in the final quarter of this year they say. --Chris Christoph P. U.
