It's the latest new-fangled thing from Intel.  Something like
'multi-media extensions', though it (AFAIK) robs you of the FPU. 
Personally, I think high-powered graphics boards are a better approach -
makes you less dependant on one company.

BTW, I've noticed several nasty posts from you lately.  I don't mind you
posting (I like to hear other people's views) but try to tone it down a
little.
