Hi all, It seems to get become complicated to make a non-SSE build for blender, especially because OpenEXR now defaults for it. (We are receiving bug reports about it). Several newer components in Blender benefit from having SSE2 (like Cycles).
BTW: SSE2 was introduced in 2003 by Intel (Pentium 4 ) and in 2004 by AMD (Athlon 64). Every system you bought in past 6-7 years should support this. Proposal is to drop official support for systems older than Pentium4 now. Even when it might still be possible to get it compiled or running - I'm talking about *official* support - in releases and for reports in our tracker. Is that acceptable? Next sunday meeting we can formalize this as a decision.
