I just saw that PDP has some MMX assembly (old school ;). Do you think it would be worth turning on, even tho MMX seems to be deprecated?
why is MMX deprecated? especially, why do you consider MMX deprecated when there is no SSE2 code instead?

Well, AFAIK, there is no further development on MMX, while there is with SSE. And it seems that SSE is meant to replace MMX, instead of complement it. Plus if IIRC, MMX has some serious drawbacks to it. It seems to be something like SSE v0 ;)
