Force SSE or 3DNow?

[MDE]

I'm using the F@H console client on my XP 2500 @ 3200. Would it be faster to force SSE or 3DNow?

i want to toss in SSE but not 100%

I'm running SSE right now... we'll see if it's any faster.

In my experience, SSE is faster than 3DNow on my Athlon XP 1700+ (overclocked to 1.8GHz). Evidently there is some little bug with SSE and some Athlons, so the 3.24 client will pick 3DNow instead of SSE when -forceasm is used, thus slowing the crunching. I use the 3.25 beta client, which fixes this issue (my Athlon has never shown this SSE "bug," so I'd rather have the extra speed).

Mine seems faster with SSE enabled. Well, I guess SSE it is...
