Should the current Linux kernel be able to detect SSE3? A
cat /proc/cpuinfo doesn't show it:

processor       : 3
vendor_id       : GenuineIntel
cpu family      : 15
model           : 4
model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz
stepping        : 1
cpu MHz         : 2801.574
cache size      : 1024 KB
physical id     : 3
siblings        : 2
fdiv_bug        : no
hlt_bug         : no
f00f_bug        : no
coma_bug        : no
fpu             : yes
fpu_exception   : yes
cpuid level     : 5
wp              : yes
flags           : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm
pni monitor ds_cpl cid xtpr
bogomips        : 5586.94

It should probably not matter atm, no program is really using (that a
know of).

This is with FC3s 2.6.10-737smp.
