1 Can someone explain the sse / 3dnow! situation to me?
2
3 My understanding is that most modern intel and amd chips supprt sse,
4 but only amd support 3dnow! Is this correct? Why would someone with a
5 pentium 4 box have 3dnow in their use flags?
6
7 Does anyone point me a ebuilds that correctly handle this stuff? It
8 would be most useful to understand how protect users from themselves
9 and reduce the number 'invalid instruction' bugs filed against
10 libvorbis!
