Just what I needed.

If you are sure you are building code for a computer that has SSE2 support, e.g. Pentium 4 or AMD Athlon machine, you can use the /arch:SSE2 option. This produces code that will not run on other chips, but is much faster, especially for routines with a lot of floating point arithmetic.
Since when Athlon (except 64) have SSE2 support, and since when SSE2 is for floating point operations !? Given /arch:SSE exists, I feel there quite some nonsense in this document...[/edit]
