SSE/SSE2 Instructions

Common Options : Enabled, Disabled

Quick Review

This BIOS feature controls the availability of the processor's SSE and SSE2 instruction sets.

When enabled, the processor's SSE and SSE2 instruction sets are enabled. Software applications can make use of those instructions to better process large amounts of data quickly.

When disabled, the processor's SSE and SSE2 instruction sets are disabled. Software applications will not be able to use those instructions to process multiple data elements simultaneously. However, the processor's MMX instruction set will still be available for use.

It is highly recommended that you leave this BIOS feature at the default setting of Enabled. This allows SSE- and SSE2-optimized software to make use of those instruction sets to process large amounts of data simultaneously.
