Hi guys,
without checking any mail archives, our forums or wikis for prior art, I would like to know if we have any general hardware support statements. I'm currently staring at a maintenance update that disables SSE2 support on certain software because the CPU doesn't support it. The manufacturing of that CPU stopped in 2004, so I'm not really sure what to think of it. Any thoughts?
openSUSE builds for i586 hence SSE2 does not exist there.
Well, according to [0], several pre-64bit iterations of the Pentium 4 did have it o:-D
If we build for i686 instead we wouldn't need such changes. FWIW I am all for changing to i686 as default 32bit target.
That would work for me. [0] http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium_4/TYPE-Desktop%20Pentium%204%20Northwo... -- With kind regards, Sascha Peilicke SUSE Linux GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
