Only very ancient cpus don't support SSE3. And well, Aero also requires WDDM drivers to run, it might be somewhat related to OSX, but on the cpu side of things, maybe differing on the way macs manage resources.
But the important thing is (if possible) to enable optimizations for SSE3, that everyone has, and not SSSE3 that only some have. My point is first benefiting everyone.
