Maybe. But the issue might not be just sse3. > > 2. Is Sage migrating to work on only modern duel core CPUs? I have > compiled Sage 3.4 on an older processor Ubuntu linux notebook and it > worked. Is this going away? No. No. You can run Sage on nearly any CPU if you build from source. > 3. Can I compile Sage using a vmware player or do I need to upgrade > vmware to compile Sage? You can compile sage. Just delete /usr/local/sage, then download sage-3.4.1, extract it, move it to be /usr/local/sage, and type make. Wait a few hours.

You don't need any extra software components to compile sage in vmware. > It seems some of us using windows XP are locked out of using Sage 3.4, > but we don't understand what the road block is.
