Actually the atlas x86_64 package is using SSE3 by default. I believe
SSE3 is the least common denominator for the x86_64 cpus. And yes,
whatever is determined for the x86_32 situation will also apply for
SSE4* for x86_64.

My Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3600+ (running x86_64) isn't
showing SSE3; From /proc/cpuinfo
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca

Unless the 3dnow extensions are equivalent to SSE3, it looks like SSE2
is the least common denominator for the x86_64 cpus.
