For example, SSE3 instructions set is one of the minimum requirements and 99% of 32 bit only CPUs do not support it. Only Pentium 4 >= Prescott architecture supports it.

For that kind of thing, add a runtime test for required CPU features at startup. If you don't want to touch the original code, just add an introducer that checks current hardware, then execs the app in /usr/libexec.

That may not be necessary if the app already fails in a friendly way on old CPUs (as opposed to hanging or mysterious crashes).
