As far as I can tell, SSE applies only to pentium III cpus and later; is
this correct?  dmesg reports for me

CPU: Pentium II/Pentium II Xeon/Celeron (399.10-MHz 686-class CPU)
Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x665  Stepping = 5
Features=0x183f9ff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PA
T,PSE36,MMX,FXSR>

Would enabling SSE in my kernel have any ill (positive) effects?

Thanks
Mark
