Distributed Prog Question

Do any distributed computing programs take advantage of SSE code? Seti? RC5?

and as a side note, is it common to use SSE in games?

Reason I'm asking is b/c I upgraded my Athlon-C 1.33ghz (i cracked it when changing heatsink) to Athlong XP 1600+. But in order for SSE to be detected I need to reinstall WIn2k which I'm in no mood to do. So I'm curious if I'm losing potential performance by not having SSE. Thanks

I seem to have place my answer in the other thread 😕

EDIT: You'll need to re-install the OS not only for the SSE instructions, but for the Hardware prefetch thingy.

Has for SSE use I don't know any game or DC project that uses those instructions.
 
SETI doesn't use SSE yet, but it could. Maybe we should petition to put it into S@HII. 🙂
