iSSE3 vs iSSE2

[Soul Rider]

While benchmarking my system with SiSoft sandra, I managed to get my Drystone ALU higher than a FX55 while at a slightly lower clockspeed, but my whetstone was a couple of hundred lower.

Then i noticed that my processor supports iSSE3 whereas the FX55 only supports iSSE2.

What difference does this make to Whetstone scores? Is there any way i can run my calculation on iSSE2 to make a direct comparison?

Any help is greatly appreciated..

My main aim is to get faster than the FX-55, then try and beat the FX-57. After that i may have a go against your opteron, but i'd need a new motherboard for that..

lol welll here it is,

Snip

MY whetstone is a little low by the looks of it. will have to tweak a little lol

Ok, so how do you tweak your whetstone?

And I must say, I won't bother trying to match that..

Just be happy to match the FX57 - Having only paid £150 for my chip..
