How do I enable the SSE/SSE2 instruction set in Visual Studio 2008 (using CMake)?

Question

In Visual Studio 2005 I went in:

View --> Property Pages --> C/C++ --> Code Generation --> Enable Enhanced Instruction Set

But in Visual Studio 200

Answer 1

If you are using inline assembler __asm { .... } you don't need to enable it.

But if you enable SSE you have to be careful. It may be that the code is slower than normal FPU code.
