Gambit: Are you sure??? SSE2 is not the same as a FPU...

Yes, I am sure ;)

While SSE2 is not the same as a generic FPU, it does contain all the operations necessary to do double point floating math. And if you include the zero latency (!) FXCH and the high memory bandwidth, including prefetching, then you have a serious potential for double precision FP dominance. Just check SPECfp2000 ;) (and compare to PIII for same level om compiler optimizations)
