No, silly enough. Checking some cpuid result is enough to check if the CPU supports it. But CPU support doesn't mean OS support. And to check if the OS supports SSE you've to execute an sse instruction and handle the exception. _______________________________________________ fpc-devel maillist - fpc-devel@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-devel
