And deprecated: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee418798(VS.85).aspx#Porting_to_64bit

"The x87, MMX, and 3DNow! instruction sets are deprecated in 64-bit  
modes. The instructions sets are still present for backward  
compatibility for 32-bit mode; however, to avoid compatibility issues  
in the future, their use in current and future projects is discouraged."
