Nice, thank you! So there is our smoking gun, and the definitive
answer to the SSE2 question. No more running our servers on Socket-A
boards. Judging by the screaming on this list (or in this case the
lack there of, am I really the only odd man out?) I don't suppose
Valve can be convinced to turn SSE2 off, even for old mods like OP4?
The end result is that my OP4 servers, which I've run for....ten
years? Has it really been that long? ... are dead in the water until I
get around to forking out the bucks for some hardware upgrades. What
with Momma wanting a new fur coat and all of that, it might be a
while, I have four of these socket-A boards but all my newer gear is
in use atm...
You could try bribing them, but you'd probably be just as well using
(less) money to buy an old mobo + processor that supports SSE2.
Although I suppose you might want to check that would definitely be new
enough to work first.
Socket 754 or 939 boards + processor won't set you back much, nor
pentium 4 (Guessing that's the earliest for intel)
I think I threw mine socket 754 computer away but there must be plenty
shoved in cupboards gathering dust that you could probably
get for the price of postage and a beer.
If you like a challenge, you could always write some code to emulate SSE2 :)
