My starting point is a software that MUST have a SSE enable CPU and many Athlon Classic CPU (no SSE but fast enought for running the software)
back in the old days there was a MMX emulator for running MMX software on standard CPU,
today I cant find any SSE emulator .
on the souceforge there are some CPU emulator but are complete emulator (like VMware) , so I think that is legal to emulate the SSE instruction set .
I dont know esactly how much is the difference between 3DNow! and SSE but are both floating point SIMD , I think a software can fill the gap.
But this software dont exist ..... WHY?
