I just read the following and would like to hear the responses of the list
members.  As I wrote earlier this week,, I am having a P III built.  Being
naive as I am I thought this was going to a breeze . . .  Software in, speed
out !  What are your thoughts?

>Before applications programs can take advantage of the P III >instruction
set they'll have to be recompiled in a compiler whose code >generator is P
III aware. That may take awhile, but eventually it will >happen. Depending
on the performance gains -- they may be >detectable only with benchmarks --
you can then upgrade your >software to match your hardware.

Thanks in advance -
