Yes, of course. I think (but I could be wrong) that NASM supports MMX
instructions.So you could use MMX with DJGPP if you use NASM.

Well, DJGPP may be the gratest compiler ever, but it is just a port of
GCC to MsDog. So if GCC will support MMX, so will DJGPP.
I don't know if DJ would incorporate MMX support by himself (before GCC
supports it, that is).
