Is the other system an Athlon Model 4 (a.k.a. Thunderbird) or a Mobile 
Athlon 4 (a.k.a. Mobile Athlon Model 6)? They're not the same chip. The 
former doesn't support SSE, the latter does.

Most people use "Athlon 4" to mean Athlon Model 4, but GCC aids AMD in 
confusing the issue by using "athlon-4" in the architecture options to 
refer to the Mobile Athlon 4.
