3DMAX OPTIMIZED FOR THE P3/P4!!!

"Experience up to 30% performance increase with Discreet and Intel optimizations!"

yes that's right! before 3dmax was blind to Intel's SSE instructions now it sees the light!

reading the docs I didn't see any mention of SSE2 so I guess this is only a SSE enabled release(not sure)

well if its proper SSE then it should work equally as well with the XP... unless they stuff the SSE chip identification up.

shame its got no SSE2 thou

Excuse me for a moment. I need to drive my ergonomic wheely chair over a sheet of bubble wrap!

That´s odd.
I tested a version that had a "P3-folder", all you had to do was to replace a file with this one, then you would get SSE support.
And this is 3D Studio Version 3.0.
Hmmm...

What does "." mean?

 

[mbetea]

don't hold me to this, it's from dictionary.com:
1. The full pause at the end of a spoken sentence.
2. A punctuation mark ( . ) indicating a full stop, placed at the end of declarative sentences and other statements thought to be complete, and after many abbreviations.
:tongue:

I wasn't sure if it might actually be half a : or perhaps some indication of the end of the interger part and the beginning of the decimal part, as read from left to right. At first I thought it might be colony of bacteria on my screen, but no amount of scrubbing would remove it. You've cleared it all up for me now though. Thanks.

I think we just about covered it, but in my case it actually meant that the forum would not accept a blank post, and so I had to pu something in just to put the chance of title I wanted

only 44 of 77?

so it isnt fully SSE compliant?
only 57.142857% SSE then

If its covered in bubble wrap, ill buy it!
