in thread Need more precision.

I just read the article in more detail, and I don't think it's what you want.

Indeed. I wasted an afternoon trying to find some way to get more precision out of SSE/2 but they are about SIMD; performing multiple (2xdouble or 4xfloat) operations in parallel.

I don't see any way to get more precision out of them. I thought for a while it might be possible to use two doubles as a kind limited kind of multi-precision, but there is no carry-over facility.
