Well ppc doesn't have SSE but I think the SSE stuff is limited to x86 arch anyway, All AMD64 cpu that I know of have SSE support, but there are many people running Gentoo non machines that does *not* support SSE, like Athlon-Thunderbirds. I was one of them before replacing the main box, and I'm still using the tbird for G/FBSD. I know of people running it on 300MHz P2s (without SSE, too), so better avoid assuming that "nobody is running on a i686".. there still are i586 out there (and distcc or binary package creation from another machine can do the trick for them usually). -- Diego "Flameeyes" Pettenò Gentoo Developer - http://dev.gentoo.org/~flameeyes/ (Gentoo/FreeBSD, Video, Gentoo/AMD64, Sound, PAM)
