Re: OT: Google Earth, v.4.3.7284.3916 (beta) on CentOS 5.2 (32 bit)

All I can say is, thanks for being confused.
I have hated the 4.3.something ver of googleearth since I first installed it. Based on your investigation, I realized that ver 4.3 isn't supposed to work with my Athlon XP 2600+ and didn't look back in getting all the ver 4.3 stuff replaced with 4.2.0205.5730.

Amazingly, I did not find the older version on their site when I initially installed 4.3.

I tried to install google-earth with yum but either that isn't the
name of the package or it is not available in the Google repository.
Then, I did some reading on the Google site. Question: How do I
determine whether or not the CPU in this box (I think it's an Intel
Celeron 2.6 GHz) supports SSE2 or not? I suspect the CPU does *not*
support SSE2.   Posting some information below:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

Bill: The data are below. There is a flag for sse2. Does that mean
this CPU supports SSE2 or not? If it does support SSE2, that gives me
a mystery, about why the latest version of Google Earth wouldn't run
properly.   Lanny
