You're correct. Change x87 to MMX and my post will make a little more sense.

And, furthermore, only amd64 and P4 have SSE2, and, for most amd64 ( if not all ), SSE2 ops are as slow as their MMX counterparts.
So you mean they're only fast for the overwhelming majority of machines

I'm still intersted on figures from a newer P4 or A64. While the P3 numbers are relevent, a control would be nice.
