Tenchu, Those are not Tom's results at all, in fact he notes it was done by an Intel supported site and suggests salt might be in order, large grains, one each.

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.
