Coprocessing is just crap. If any of you are old enough to remember what it took to get the software industry to support the x87 when it was a "socket" you'll remember it was very heavy lifting. It wasn't until it was in the 486dx that it was starting to take off and even then the 486sx was offered for those who wouldn't pay the extra at the CPU level.

It wasn't until Pentium that the FPU finally became accepted since it wasn't optional.

I hope AMD spends lots of their precious marketing resources on coprocessors. Maybe they'll add to their lawsuit that Intel is strongarming the SW community to not use them. Yeah, that's it, that's the ticket...
