Tench: you'll see a 28.8% improvement thanks to SSE.

Noone has denied that SSE has the potential to speed up multimedia. The debate, however, was about NVIDIA's drivers. The 28.8% improvement is due to MultimediaMark being SSE optimized (as Tom also implies). This has nothing what-so-ever to do with the drivers. MultiaMediaMark should be fairly graphics card independent (except for hardware MPEG decoding features), since it does:

MPEG1-encoding, decoding, imaging and sound editing.

The only caveat being 'imaging' which could mean basically anything.
