Its also worth noting that SSE5 is (yet another) weird naming scheme in the superset scheme of things. AMD has announced it, but its not a superset of (all) of SSE4 but a competitor for (some) of it. Just to muddy the water a little more. I imagine when SSE5 is finalized and shipped we'll add support for it to Mono.Simd as well. -g _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
