Hi everybody,

I would like to know if MacOS Leopard on i386 or x86-64 has sysctl to detect x86 vectorizing units (sse). Unfortunately, the only computer I have running Leopard is a MacPro G5, and obviously these sysctl are missing (instead there is a hw.optional.altivec sysctl).

Can someone do a:

sysctl -a | grep optional

under a 10.5/x86 system and tell me what’s output?

Thanks a lot.
Vincent
