I made some more tests on another old laptop of mine which has both Slackware
Linux and Windows XP. The CPU is a Mobile Pentium III, without SSE2 or later
instruction sets.
On Linux, flash player version 11.1.102 works (slowly but) fine. I went to
adobe.com to get an update but the only version I was able to find was
10.3.183. I tried it for completeness and it worked too.
On Windows, I had version 11.1.102, which worked. Looked for an update on
adobe.com, found 11.2.202.235, installed it and it worked too.
This makes me believe that the lack of support for older CPU models on the
32-bit Linux version of flash player 11.2 wasn't necessarily a decision by
Adobe but might be a build mistake. So it's probably worth asking them to fix
it.
Especially with flash player 11 finally supporting x86-64, the 32-bit version
should aim at maximum compatibility with old hardware.
