[x264-devel] Detecting CPU capabilities

On my AMD X2 systems (Linux, x86_64), x264 shows this string when I start 
encoding:
x264 [info]: using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Slow
Now, according to AMD, the X2 DualCore cpu is "Including support for SSE, 
SSE2, SSE3, MMX™, 3DNow!™ technology and legacy x86 instructions"

Do I have to tell x264 to use SSE3 somehow, and would that have any 
advantage over the current autodetection?

Thanks!
