Oh I didn't know my old `2001 PIII 128 MB laptop is that old.
Works fine with F11 BTW.
A seconday arch could be done for these older CPUs, if someone is interested
enough.
I wonder if a switch like that makes a difference for owners of "newer"
CPUs. Aren't they/we already using x86-64, leaving i386 for old
hardware and netbooks?
BTW are those new VIA netbooks SSE2-capable?
Also, I was wondering, myself aside, are the newer processors as
prevalent all geographic locations? I.e., if we do drop older
processors, are we not essentially telling a large segment of our users
and potential users o look elsewhere? I'd rather not concede entire
countries to That Brown Distro.
