<< The tomorrow you're talking about will also be the day of the k8, which, as you know, will be SSE implemented. The chip to replace is the PIII, and the software in which it must perform better are the 2001 one's. I would be surprised to see spread SSE2 support in new software before mid 2002. Software roadmaps are not as aggressive as semi maker's ones. >> 99% of the software doesn't need the fast pc though, and the 1% that does will be optimized, so it's true that while you may not see SSE2 optimizations across the board, you'll see them where it's needed, and that's where all the benchmarks will be. Do you really think the next ID games won't be SSE2 optimized? (or whatever else is big in the gaming world these days, i don't really follow it)
