Watching XMM registers in action could be useful.

XMM registers? I haven't even encountered those. Are they part of x86 architecture and if yes could you please provide a link to info about them?

skeeto commented 9 years ago

It's part of Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), available on any x86 processor produced after 1999. It replaced 3DNow! and x87.
