Tench, RE:"You still haven't told me why MPEG encoding cannot benefit from SSE." Surely it CAN...but in the real world they need to pick the right encoders to support. I'm not sure how to analogize it. I can try. It's like supporting a word processing program no one will use vs not supporting MS Word... That's what happened with the MP3 program that was SSE optimized and used as a benchmark for P3. Sure, SSE was showcased but it didn't sell any programs or chips... MP3ers will use the best quality program, usually. Some go for speed. Often speed is at the expense of quality... Right now, LAME is the best overall. I seriously doubt it supports SSE2. The Fraunhofer encoders possible could have been optimized for SSE2 but then one has to see who packaged it and how it works and how much it costs... Jim
