My personal opinion is that these 3 factors in no way have anything to do
with the NY libs.  The main thing is the NY libs!  Show me a NY game that 
would benefit from a FPU, increased CPU?  Better yet, name 10 NY games
that take up 2 megs!!  You don't need any of this 3 things to do a great 
game....

The point being is that the NY libs are good enough to do some great 3D
games.  The problem is, there are only a handfull of NY games that are 3D.
The NY has been released for 2 years in Europe and I think it's time 
members really pushed the NY libs to their fullest.
