Not what you said is inaccurate. It's just that I thought the
results of the SIMD calculations would be more inaccurate.

Right.

Yeah right... next thing some fellow around South-Kongo Republic or
North-Tscukotka will write something in his language too. Actually,
it suck when you have to guess what someone has said in a message,
OK estonian is too different, but most of European languages have
some legacy from latin, so you sometimes get a clue. Luckily, I read
mostly binary porn NG, so the text doesn't matter :)
I'll probably have some stupid questions about halos soon, so see ya
folks later

If it's something I want everybody to understand, I'll write it in English. If
not, rest assured that it's not important and you won't miss a thing anyway
(btw. I din't really mean to put this crap in my signature, if that disturbs
you)

I'm sure you insulted all the POV-ers from North-Tscukota now...

Cool! The percentage of mankind wanting to kill me is ever-growing! :)
BTW, managed to upgrade K6-2 266 to 333, ( hint Margus, its *** cheap
now in Estonia, mail me in case of serious interest ...)
so benchmarked it, skyvase.pov etc. The time was 2.10 - no optimization
top score on single '86 CPU . And what's best, it was running on 32 MB
of slow EDO RAM, 68 MHz, instead of max 112 MHz memory bus speed.
If running on low speed it beats the *** out of older ALPHAS :)
can't dream of it's full  power. Sadly enough, scorched my MB an hour
later, luckily not my fault. Will try guarantee.
So good luck to ya all, try upgrading :)
