Not to be pedantic, but the 8 words I am moving are also in diffrent
memory locations. In fact, 2 bytes a part :D :D

True enough.

He didnt spesicfy what the nRastOffset was.
If it was 2 ......

That would be convenient. Almost "too good to be true".

I thought it was some schoolassignment :D

Yeah... I think they get into that xmm sh^Htuff about Junior year of assembly :)

But I guess you may be right that this was too easy.

Maybe, maybe not. No harm investigating whether the "easy way" would work! If it's going to be a "hassle" to get 8 words into an xmm reg, maybe it's not worth doing at all. I suppose Amal knows where he's going with it... (?)

Anyways. I stepped his code in RosAsm,

If you're into fooling with it, see if that "PINSRW" would do anything useful. Looks like it might... but I'll bet it's slow :(

Best,
