Currently, the default atlas contains SSE and no SSE.  AIUI, even no 
SSE is faster than no ATLAS.  Still, I would hope that the proper 
variant is chosen at run time, or at least install time.  If so, the 
proper packaging for ATLAS is a single package built for all x86 (or 
x64 or SPARK or whatever) variants.  (My own machine would benefit from 
a 3DNOW build.)
