I agree whole heatedly! Could not believe the sales pitch places like
Best Buys when MMX came out and cost $100 to $$200 more just for MMX. I
kept selling non-MMX CPU until they ran out. Save my customers bundles
with no disadvantage. Only if the client was a gamer would I suggest it
and back then it was over 6 months before the first game used it and
that meant the client had to go out and spend money on the upgrade to
utilize the MMX.
Marketing hype. Bah. Humbug. (Remember when you were told you had to
buy a new car every year because it was so much better?)

In my opinion, the only thing good that came from MMX technology was a
dubious TV commercial with people in shiny suits jumping up and down
and
dancing all around.
