Please correct me if I am wrong: SSE is Intels Instruction set for >= PIII,

an improved Athlon version.  Why do you think iSSE == 3DNow! ?

SSE != 3DNow!, but SSE ~= 3DNow!. Some SSE instructions exist in 3DNow! too (with the same opcode). That's especially true for MMX+ instructions, which is what I use.

If course, it is not 3Dnow.

It is according to AMD...
