Re: Introduction & reference for SSE

Is anyone familiar with good introductions and references on
SSE/SSE2/MMX?

Intel's "IA-32 Intel Architecture Software Developer's Manual" is the
best available reference. There are links to it's volumes at

http://www.fastcodeproject.org/

First read the sections in volume 1 about it. Use volume 2 for
reference on specific instructions.

I am also not familiar with FPU instructions. Is there a point for me
in figuring out how this thing works, or is it better to always use
SSE?

You could say that SSE is easier, since it uses registers instead of a
stack. Of course you should keep in mind that SSE doesn't wrk on older
CPU's.
