OK, thanks. I’d also like to know if it runs fine as long as you don’t turn on Generate. You’d think as long as it doesn’t actually execute any SSE2 instructions, it would still load. At least Pentium 3’s could run it without generating.

I thought the SSE2 mode would just be for those those with processors that support it, so far the release client runs just fine on older PI, PII, PIII machines, just very slow on the khash/s part. For example, a PIII 933MHz Linux machine can muster about 125 khash/s, some old 1.1GHz Celerons I have can reach 172 khash/s

I wouldn’t want to exclude those that have older processors from at least trying to generate coin, hehe.
