What is the 3DNow!(+) instruction set ? I recently bought a AMD 64 x2 5200+ based system & it is capable of the 3DNow! instruction set . What does this mean ? Of Course , it can also understand a few other instruction sets like MMX (+), SSE, SSE2, SSE3, x86-64, NX, VMX .
I am not sure what the question should accomplish, but I guess that the simply CPU supports more commands at the hardware level, thus adding functionality and ensuring the best performance for those operations. More extended info - here
