Author Topic: At what version was the SSE2 processor requirement implemented ?  (Read 980 times)

Is seems that that SSE2 processor support became a requirement somewhere along the line. I started with MC15 and have been running MC16 for years. I thought I would help support development and purchased licenses for MC20. But I am unable to install on my primary (living room system). I have found conflicting reports as to whether it supports SSE2, so I am pretty sure it does not.   Did this become a requirement with MC18 ? I found the following post, about the discussion,
http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=75545.0,
but it does not state whether or not SSE2 did become a requirement at that time.
I am able to install MC17, but not MC18, or MC20.

Yes, it is old hardware, but it serves my purpose well. I am really just using it as a music server and player at this point,
and it is attractive in the Living Room Stereo system, not to mention "silent", and it makes a nice solid base for my turntable...

HUSH System with EPIA-SP1300, VIA C3 Nehemiah.

Sorry, but it is a requirement now.  You might be able to rebuild your old PC with a newer motherboard and processor.

It became required in build 19.0.40.
