graphics tweak on Plll

"Note that some CPUs, such as AMD's K6-2 and K6-III and Intel's Pentium III, have special instructions to improve performance with the CPU-intensive transformation and lighting portion of 3-D games. This should alleviate some of the bottleneck, although processor speed will also play a role."

I just read that in an article. Does any one know what they are refering to?
That was the extent of the info, as far as the "special instructions" are concerned.

Hi Briab Guy,

I think the article is talking about MMX, 3D Now! or SSE instructions that are written into certain games and multimedia software.
