Actually, Solaris supports SSE for user processes, but we don't save fp context by default for kernel threads; it's a significant performance boost. As a result, in the few places in the kernel where we actually use the FP registers we're careful to prevent either corruption of user state or stomping on other kernel threads modifying this state. The problem w/ the ndis driver is that it doesn't play the game. - Bart -- Bart Smaalders Solaris Kernel Performance barts at cyber.eng.sun.com http://blogs.sun.com/barts
