How to check if my CPU supports sse2 sse3

[Eric KDE]

The reason I want to know this is to install or at least 'try' to install mac osx. I used the command:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

However when i looked for anything regarding "sse" i didn't find anything unless it is a different term that i am not aware of.
If anyone knows how to check if a linux-based pc supports sse2 or sse3 let me know. thanks in advance.

Re: How to check if my CPU supports sse2 sse3

Just figured out if my linux based pc meets the sse2 and/or sse3 requirements to install MAC OsX. If anybody was thinking of triple booting, that is, booting in either Windows,Linux or Mac, the list of compatible processors can be found here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSE2. However i still am unsure of how to properly find out how to check if my processor supports sse2 or sse3 using the linux Konsole/Terminal. If anybody knows feel free to share, if not its okay because i found out what i needed to know. If anyone was thinking of installing mac check the wiki. Thanks.

Thank Vinny! I didn't see that at all. Also do you know if its possible to skip sse3? I checked my info and i saw sse sse2 and sse4a but i don't know if that means it does or doesn't support sse3. thanks in advance
