i.wanna.corndog Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Hey fellow OSX86ers, Based on some comments in the thread about Semthex' recently added SSE2 support, I decided to post this poll just to get a good estimate on the processor "demographic" in the community, so vote away! Thanks, corndog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wow Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 We have an old wisdom here. There are lies, big lies and statisics. I made some polls earlier on other forums and compared the total voters against the members. They results werent at all usefull..... With 10.000 members. You need at least a few thousand to get anywhere near a real estimate. btw i didnt vote because i dont want you to use this "poll" as an instrument to try to change sempthex his plans. I dont know or that is what you want or not. But it tasted a bit like it. Hearing what you said last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-TiLT- Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 It would be better to have a field in your forums-profile, where you can add weather you need sse2 support or not. Just make that field essential for registration and consisting users and you have the representative results in a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT not all users here know about SSE stuff so why bother them during registration ? Tilt, cool sign. ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macgirl Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 I have an Opteron 165 with SSE3 and it is installed in a nForce 4 MoBo, I also have the old AMD 64 3500+ SSE2 alone, no MoBo at all, but if this works well maybe I buy one Ahh, yes, I also have a Celeron with SSE only, but there is no vote option for SSE3 + SSE2 + SSE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-TiLT- Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Ja, das stimmt.BUT not all users here know about SSE stuff so why bother them during registration ? You are right. Add a "don't know"-field Tilt, cool sign. ! It was designed on my real Atari ST MEGA1 which is standing next to my Amiga 500.

A guy made a comment in the Semthex SSE2 forum that nobody needed SSE2 and that they should upgrade to SSE3, and I was trying to prove the point that actually, quite a few of us need that SSE2 support .

Prasys Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 1x SSE3 Support - my dell 1xSSE3 Support - my COMPAQ Presario M2512AU - AMD Mobile Sempy 3000+ 2xAltiVec [1337ness] - my mac mini and my iBook so for me.....SSE2 is just.....well......ummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nastyhome Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 SSE2 ... looks like SSE2 and SSE3 are both strong markets both at best taking 50\50 market share. I think there is an importance to keep up with both proccessors. Or else, half of your community will move on to the darker side (eg: Windows or Linux) - and i';m sure you dont want to do that,.... I'm sure we all want to be all cozy with OS X! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sg Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 this poll is useless and doesnt provide a valid sample, i bet more SSE2 users visit these forums simply because of the recent kernel being released and because of the SSE2 problems from last security update.
