Yep, that's what I meant. I understand the backwards compatibility. I hear
the new Pentium 64-bit chip won't do that.
Yeah that's crazy of Intel. AMD's 64 bit chips don't have that limitation?!
But, I wanted to know if MC/RR will make use of it in the near future.
I don't know what SIMD is. Can you explain?
What Dar said in his post :-) He more than I about it probably. If any of you are a feeling particularly adventurous, on OS X do
man vecLib [return] in terminal.app
NAME
AltiVec vecLib vMathLib BLAS LAPACK vDSP vBigNum vBasicOps Vector
Computation Velocity Engine Extended Math Library - This man page intro-
duces the vector instruction set extension to the PowerPC architecture
known as Velocity Engine (or AltiVec) and its accompanying libraries and
programming support in Mac OS X.

I'm not sure if this man page gets installed with the Apple Developer Tools CD, or if it's there on clean installs of OS X too.
