sse is supported

gast at ratte:~$ isainfo -x

I thought these days speed would come from HW
accelerated open-gl. How would control-logic benefit
much from streaming extensions (single instruction
multiple data) anyway?

Unfortunately the Hardware Compatibility list
http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/hcl/data/os/
has no CPU entry. Therefor it is not really clear
what the least common denominator is and what
is still considered in scope.
And as this is a user feedback collection I am not
really sure what and where the plan is with
respect to minimum HW requirements for OSOL.
