Just bought a TNT card for my old standard Socket 7 Shuttle HOT-569/K6-2 266 MHz (O/C to 300 MHz) combo & was very displeased to see that games like Shogo & Blood 2 run like shit through a funnel on it at 800 X 600. Are there any games besides Q2 that fully take advantage of 3DNow? I can't believe that with so many under $1000 K6-2-based systems being sold there isn't better 3DNow support. Until I can afford to get a Celeron 300A & LX motherboard I'm stuck with this rather disappointing K6-2 cpu and it's poor FPU performance so I need all the help I can get in the way of hardware/software acceleration. --joe remove nixspam to reply via email
