FPU instructions will likely be faster on a Pentium when you don't
access the results in the next few instructions because the FPU works
in parallel on this chip. So the real question is do u want to make
your game or whatever have any possibility of running reasonably on say
a DX4-100 which doesn't have a parrallel FPU...
