So if I understand correctly, in a nutshell, the driver will basically work around XP's crappiness in order to offload some of the 3d work onto the separate CPU core. It brings a lot of questions to my mind. Such as:
1. Will HT Pentium's benefit?
2. If so, why haven't we seen this sooner? Hasn't there been enough HT-capable CPU's and 2P systems out there to warrant bringing somthing out like this?
3. ATi's answer?
