KNI / 3D Now! support aside, the Athlon has a much faster FPU unit, and as
such is a much faster CPU, period.  However, with the advances in KNI / 3D
Now!, and without such support on the GeForce256+Athlon, you do experience a
performance hit.  Therefore, in my opinion, you'll probably get *almost* the
same speed in GeForce256 applications on the Athlon as you will on the PIII.
However, you will lose performance on the PIII outside of GeForce256
applications.
