Does doing any floating point calculations in the .NET environment, using the C# language, access any of the special underlying hardware of the Pentium4 processor, like SSE2 instructions. Or is there a special math coprocessor that it uses instead?

It's likely that the JIT compiler will spit out the SSE2 floating point instructions if it is on a P4 procesesor. It's on of the advantages to useing a JIT compilier. However I am unaware if the current JIT compilier does that for a P4Quote:
