Let's go for it.  I'm working on a review on LinuxHardware.org of a dual
Xeon system vs. a dual Athlon MP system and would love to see the advantage
of SSE2 instructions.  If you can get me the binary it would be great or
tell me how to compile it myself (or both).  You can reach me directly at
aug### [at] linuxhardwareorg.

Thanks
