Seems like a low quality article. It says: "Cyrix Corp., which makes low-cost computer processors, says it also is interested in working on Linux, once it finalizes its 3-D Now! technology, a rival version of MMX." 2 errors in the same sentence. 3D-now specs has been out over a year and itS AMD's technology.

I surfed to Cygnus and the only thing they say is that they are going to support for KNI/SSI in the assembler. This is or is soon going to be in GNU assembler. Just another marketing hype.
