I will most certainly try this out on my i7 3970X when I get home from work tonight, just a few things though.

1. Set USE_SIMD to 1 in rsp.h: Easy enough.

2. Build MESS using ARCHOPTS=-march=core2: Does this mean: make ARCHOPTS=-march=core2 TARGET=MESS?

3. Specify -numprocessors 2 or 3: I believe this is in MESS.ini?
