Question for all on SSE/SSE2: AKAIK, AMD doesn't have a license for it. Assuming Mustang has or could have SSE or SSE2 support, which of the following situations to you find the most likely? : 1. AMD didn't even try to get a license figuring Intel would face anti-trust action if they tried to claim IP rights on an instruction set 2. AMD was refused a license but they'll use it anyway 3. AMD is still negotiating for a license and for the time being will disable SSE/SSE2 support until negotiations fail or are successful. If negotiations fail they will sue or enable anyway and wait for Intel to sue. I believe AMD paid for a license to MMX. Prengle used to tweak this thread about it. Petz
