why only 2GB ?

i don't think you need asm to do this, and in fact, asm is not
portable. you want to check out the _FPU_SETCW macro. it can do what
you want in a portable way, i believe.

sure. like i said, ed hall's optimizations racked up incredible
performance gains on the x86. note, however, that it made not much
difference on a MIPS system.
