wanna_bmw,

That's amazing! I had no idea how well SSE-2 optimizations can help the Pentium 4. Wow. The 1.4GHz Pentium 4 is outscoring the Athlon XP 1900+. Something's got to be said for software optimizations. Hopefully more are on the way.

I hope you are aware of the fact that the subset of application that can benefit from SSE-2 is tiny, and on this tiny set of apps, P4 can benefit somewhat, or greatly on a further subset that also is a heavy user of bandwidth. And I hope you are aware of the fact that this kind of speed improvement will never make it to Winstone or Sysmark, mo matter how much time programmers spend on optimising vs. writing new code / debugging.
