Is it worth spending the extra money on an amd64 with sse3 as opposed to sse and sse2 only?

if a few things were around to take advantage of it. its not the main reason to upgrade for me though
ok, thanks
The better memory controller is probably a better reason.
the OC of the venice or sandy is better

Also performs a couple percent better @ same clocks. I gained 25 MHz (50 DDR!) going from Winchester -> Venice with same settings on the memory

sse3 is just more useless intel crap
Apparently Intel compilers produce binaries that don't use sse etc on AMD processors even if they support it.

arent the only sse3 procs from amd also 90nm procs. The 90nm procs will most definatly OC better (90nm fx-55 vs 130nm fx-55).
All AMD cpus w/ SSE3 are 90nm, but not all AMD 90nm cpus have SSE3

A Venice/San Diego is always worth buying over a Winchester. Cause they are produced with strained silicon process and that gives higher clocks.
"The most recent update of 8.0 compilers should have fixed the run-time issue with -xW and -xK on AMD processors. I don't believe the fix has been carried back to 7.1. It's not deliberate, it's an oversight, due to AMD processors not being supported or tested with those options."
"Issue", lol, that is the worst lie I've read in quite a while. A bunch of cmp instructions like that doesn't just pop in by mistake

Its the same useless Intel crap thats gotten AMD where they are today. If it wasn't for being able to license technology like MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3 and the entire x86 architecture from Intel then AMD wouldn't be anywhere. SSE2 especially gave a big performance boost to the Athlon 64's. SSE3 has to do mainly with encodeing so it wont benefit most users that much.
Will TMPGENC support SSE3 soon ?
