My understanding is that most modern intel and amd chips supprt sse, but only amd support 3dnow! Is this correct? Why would someone with a pentium 4 box have 3dnow in their use flags? Does anyone point me a ebuilds that correctly handle this stuff? It would be most useful to understand how protect users from themselves and reduce the number 'invalid instruction' bugs filed against libvorbis! Thanks j. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
