Can someone explain the sse / 3dnow! situation to me?

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.
