I understand the backwards compatibility. I hear the new Pentium 64-bit chip won't do that. But, I wanted to know if MC/RR will make use of it in the near future. I don't know what SIMD is. Can you explain? Ken N. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
