    How to compile using SSE optimalizations?

    I think it's a bit to complicated to try. But google was invented for a reason.

    Using Visual Studio?

    The performance gain isn't worth the effort.

    lol @ "effort"
    It's a flag in gcc and a checkbox in Visual Studio.

    Really? Which checkbox?

    Dude, I once spent an entire page of text trying to explain to someone how to use Release mode.
    When I say effort, I mean effort in explaining it.

    Haha. All you need for release mode is to do the wiki settings again while the box that says debug when you first follow the wiki says release. Either way. Can you tell me in a conversation or something which checkbox it is?

    Yeah... exactly what I mean.

    Under property page, go to C/C++ > Code Generation.
    It's the Enable Enhanced Instruction Set value you need to change.
    That's all I'm going to say.

    I think I got it. I have two options.
    Streaming SIMD Extensions (/arch:SSE) (/arch:SSE) = SSE
    Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (/arch:SSE2) (/arch:SSE2) = SSE2
