Hi John, > Now would I know non-SSE hardware if I met it in the wild?

All x86-64 compatible CPUs have SSE2, so it is a non-issue there. > John Cheers, Michael --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
