How about thinking about it this way... what is the reality/usefulness of a multimedia application not running on a class of Pentium (i.e. Pentium I) that has MMX? Would you really expect 30fps motion video to run on your P90? Do you not think it is safe to assume any Pentium capable of full motion (i.e. has the power) video would have MMX. Even my PII-233 has MMX. > What is sure, however, is that i've used the second way for mplayer package, > so i should at least be consistant with myself :-) I agree. Turn MMX on on all of your multi-media builds! :-) b. -- Brian J. Murrell
