mine had sse2 and sse3, but no 64-bit

Hello,

i want install Mac osx on my future new PC, i think buy an E6550 core 2 duo intel processors.

This is possible to install with this configuration?

And the E6000 core2duo intel processores series had SSE2 and SSE3 instruction?



Thank you and please help me.

Hi,

Does anyone know if Enabling SSE/SSE2 would show any improvements in performance?? I got a E2160 @ 3.2GHZ it does have SSE3 of course, but I was wondering if getting them all to work would improve performance? if anyone knows that would be helpful to many people.

Yamcha i'm not sure what u mean by "enabling".

You dont just enable or disable it. It is a capability of your processor
either you have it or not... of course your has SSE2 AND SSE3 instruction set extention...

Please check : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE3

System profiler says nothing. My system seems to be running okay (however a little more speed would be nice). How do i know if I'm running on SSE2 or SSE3? This is Jas OS 10.4.8.

Also I noticed that when i go into iTunes/ preferences /advanced / importing and look under details it says optimized for MMX/SSE2. Anybody know if this is normal?

The info below was copied form system profiler

thank you very much .. i was looking everywhere for this .. and thnx for help

We don't need to bother about SS3. Have - good, don't have - no problem.
Do not patch any application!
OpenGL, CoreGraphics and so on always SSE3. They works!
