Fingolfen,

Re: Intel offers FORTRAN and C++ compilers which automatically add SSE2 optimizations to software...

Could you please provide a link? I am interested in buying one of these ... but I have not found them. I bought a 1.5GHz Pentium 4 from Dell last week and it runs my applications (floating point double precision) at a great speed, just a fraction of a much more expensive IBM Power3 370MHz (which is 4X more expensive), and faster than 1.3GHz Athlon DDR. My compiler does not use SSE2, just SSE, and I expect another 20% improvement (or more) from SSE2.

The Pentium 4 is a great chip for intensive FP scientific applications. I am afraid that these are not representative of the PC "mainstream."
