I know the Celeron is quite an old processor, but since your chip
supports MMX, SSE and SSE2, I would have thought that is a
sufficiently capable processor to run Sage. Does anyone know what the
iso image needs in terms of instruction set from the CPU?
On my own machine, which has a newer Xeon processor, 'iasinfo' on
Solaris reports the following are supported:
drkir...@hawk:~$ isainfo -v
64-bit amd64 applications
sse4.2 sse4.1 ssse3 popcnt tscp cx16 mon sse3 pause sse2 sse fxsr mmx
cmov amd_sysc cx8 tsc fpu
32-bit i386 applications
sse4.2 sse4.1 ssse3 popcnt tscp ahf cx16 mon sse3 pause sse2 sse fxsr
mmx cmov sep cx8 tsc fpu
Does anyone here know if the DVD requires SSE3 for example, which
would cause a failure with this Celeron?
