What if you don't want to do this though? Athlon XP processors support SSE instructions, but not at the same time as 3dnow instructions. The processor has to switch modes or something like that. What if a user wants to actually use the 3dnow instructions? Does this mean that on an athlon XP which supports SSE instructions, if you don't want to enable them you'll catch SIGILL and die when using those "certain apps?" Just wondering.
