SSE is supported by Model 8 and Model 6 AMD Athlon processors (AMD Athlon XP,
AMD Athlon MP, mobile AMD Athlon 4) and Model 7 AMD Duron processors. SSE2 is
supported by Athlon64 and Opteron CPUS.

For the most part the Intel 8.0 compiler will always produce code that runs
slower on an AMD CPU vs the Microsoft compiler.

The inlineamd.h is for the Athlon64 and Opteron CPUs and will not work on the 32
bit AMDs.
