RE:"So why did you call it misleading"

Because the quality of the encoder is what really matters.
If the encoder with SSE2 has poor quality, the speed means little. I use LAME and Fraunhofers codec. These are the best. Unless these are optimized for SSE2 then Intels MP3 encoding scores are pretty much useless.
Also, these are easily available on the net. Very few will pay for an SSE2 encoder.

Jim

What? Are you saying that using SSE2 will reduce quality? What are you talking about? Do you know what SSE2 is? I suggest you look at the Intel website.

McPanic - re: 'Also, these are easily available on the net. Very few will pay for an SSE2 encoder.'

One will be included FREE with every Pentium 4 - along with a couple sticks of Rambus memory and a $450 rebate coupon from Intel.
