Any chance of having a wrapper script that calls an optimized binary for the particular cpu/arch flags?<br><br>I know this increases the deployment payload but, I am a CFLAG opt nut, and disc space is cheap.<br><br>(Yes you could do install time magic also, but...)
<br><br>I know that with ut2004 there were issues with getting amd64 binaries in-line with i386 and vs versa. So perhaps having one unified binary wrapper would be the way to go.<br><br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Thanks for the update Arne,<br>The Celeron is Pentium 4 level hardware, but I am seeing better<br>performance at a lower cost with the AMD. I have been comparing the<br>two machines with different games and wanted to try UT3 demo before
<br>the retail release. I think I have seen enough good things with the<br>AMD machine that I am going to stick with it. Please, this is not to<br>start an Intel vs AMD war. It is just what I have observed. And yes I<br>know that the AMD processor in this case is better than the slower
<br>Celeron, but price is also a factor here.<br>Rick<br><br>On Nov 15, 2007 2:30 PM, Arne Brodowski <<a href="mailto:arne@planet-rcs.de">arne@planet-rcs.de</a>> wrote:<br>> Hi Rick,<br>><br>> to quote Ryan from the 14th October:
