Jimbo - Re: " If it's not going to sell, SSE isn't going to help." Pentium III is already selling like AMD HOTCAKES .

McPannic - Re: " It's a crummy program. This is probably the case with many of the other SSE apps you listed." I see all those REAL Pentium III OPTIMIZED SSE PROGRAMS have made you real nervous Jimmybo. You dismissed them all - AutoCAD, Real Networks, Parametrics Technology, SolidWorks, Dassault CATIA, etc. These are all top-line Workstation products Jimmybo - not some Alien Mutant Blasters that push Games into the teenager swamps of poor boy's "computing".
